What Your Valuation Range Actually Tells You
A startup valuation isn't a precise science — it's a negotiation anchor. The range this calculator outputs reflects what comparable companies at your stage and sector are being valued at today, based on Berkus factors and current ARR multiples. The midpoint is where most first conversations with investors will start. The high end is achievable if your growth rate, team quality, and narrative are strong. The low end is what you'll be offered if you approach investors without a clear story. spectup's role in every mandate is to build the case for the high end — structuring the deck, financial model, and narrative to justify the strongest defensible valuation.
