Startup Valuation Experts in India
My Valuation is a specialist financial advisory firm with offices in Ahmedabad and Bangalore, built for the fast-paced startup ecosystem.
Led by CA Parth Shah (IBBI Registered Valuer under Section 247 of the Companies Act, 2013), we bring institutional discipline to your startup. Unlike traditional valuers who only look at past profits, we understand startup metrics like burn rate, Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), and Lifetime Value (LTV).
We act as your compliance shield, ensuring your valuation aligns with Rule 11UA, Ind AS, and International Valuation Standards (IVS), protecting founders from tax notices while helping you maximize the value of your equity.
Our Specialized Startup Valuation Solutions
We offer a complete range of valuation services designed for every stage of your startup's journey:
Build Investor-Ready Valuations for Fundraising & Growth
For modern startups, valuation is no longer about avoiding a single tax provision. It is about earning investor confidence, negotiating from strength, and protecting founder equity across funding rounds. A credible, independent valuation ensures your startup's pricing is defensible, scalable, and aligned with institutional expectations.
Fundraising-Grade Valuation Models
We use investor-accepted methodologies like DCF, scenario analysis, probability-weighted outcomes, and benchmark multiples to support valuations for Seed to Series E rounds.
Alignment with Investor & Board Expectations
Our valuation logic mirrors how VCs, PE funds, and strategic investors assess risk, growth, and downside protection, reducing friction during term-sheet negotiations.
Defensible Assumptions & Documentation
Every valuation is backed by clearly articulated assumptions on market size, unit economics, growth drivers, and execution risks, ready for diligence today or scrutiny years later.
Future-Round & Exit Readiness
Our valuations are designed not just for the current round, but to withstand future down-rounds, secondary sales, M&A discussions, and audits.
Valuing Complex Shares (CCPS & iSAFE)
Most professional investors do not buy simple shares. They use complex instruments to protect their downside. We specialize in valuing these sophisticated securities:
CCPS (Preference Shares)
We value Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares by factoring in conversion ratios and liquidation preferences that set them apart from common stock.
Convertible Notes (OCDs)
We value debt instruments with an option to convert into equity, separating the debt liability from the equity value for your balance sheet.
iSAFE Notes
We assess the fair value of India Simple Agreement for Future Equity notes, a popular instrument for quick seed rounds that converts to equity later.
Virtual Shares (Phantom Stock)
We determine the value of Phantom Stock or Stock Appreciation Rights used to reward senior management without giving actual equity.
Pitch Deck and Financial Model Review
Investors look at the financials slide of your pitch deck to see if your logic holds up. We help you polish your story before you enter the boardroom.
- Financial Model Build: We build or fix your 3-statement model (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) to ensure the math is accurate and the formulas are linked correctly.
- Sanity Check: We stress-test your assumptions like Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and churn rate to ensure they are realistic and defensible.
- Scenario Planning: We create Best Case, Base Case, and Worst-Case scenarios so you can show investors you have a plan for different outcomes.
- Cap Table Management: We help you model your post-money cap table, showing exactly how much equity you and your co-founders will own after the investment.
Valuation Methods for Every Stage
A startup with just an idea cannot be valued the same way as a company with Rs 10 Cr revenue. We adapt our method to your data:

What is Startup Valuation?
Startup valuation is the process of calculating the economic value of a young company. Unlike mature businesses valued on steady historical profits, startups are valued on their future growth potential, intellectual property, and team strength.
It is a blend of art and science: translating your vision and burn rate into a single, defensible number that satisfies both investors and tax regulations.
