Startup Valuation by Venture Capitalists: A Strategic Management Approach

This empirical finding helps to establish an initial linkage between the well developed theories in strategic management and under-researched venture capital valuation practice. It brings more theoretical rigor to the venture capital investment literature by introducing a systematic approach to identify and measure factors important to new venture valuation. It explores a possibility to develop a supplementary method to valuate an early stage new venture when extant valuation methods fail to yield consistent results because these methods require accounting information that a new venture typically can not provide.
