FAQ
What valuation methodologies do you apply for early-stage and pre-revenue startups?
For pre-revenue or early-stage ventures, I apply a blend of the Venture Capital Method, the Berkus Method, and the Scorecard Valuation Method, combined with qualitative risk-factor assessments and market transaction comparables.
What is a 409A valuation, and why does my startup need one?
It's an independent valuation of your common stock, used to set a fair strike price for employee stock options. Without a safe-harbor-compliant 409A, your company and employees risk IRS penalties if the strike price is later challenged.
Does a CPA qualify to perform 409A valuations under IRS safe harbor?
Safe harbor requires the valuation be done by someone who performs this type of valuation regularly as part of their business. I hold a CVA/ABV credential and do this work routinely, which supports safe harbor treatment.
How often do I need a new 409A valuation?
Generally every 12 months, or sooner after a material event like a new funding round, material changes in operations, or a planned exit.
