The Seraf Compass
JULY 5, 2023
For the final step of the Seraf Method for valuing early stage companies, we bring it all together and apply our adjustments to a valuation starting point. As the Berkus, Payne and Risk Factor Methods illustrate, you have to start somewhere. But, in our view, an approach based on picking an arbitrary one-size-fits-all number does not drive a good enough result.
