The VC method is a relevant valuation approach as soon as the startup supports some growth and presents a solid business history. It results from the combination of several parameters such as: financial data at time T of the startup, business plan forecasts, financial multiples, and Estimeo pillar scores obtained during the rating process. This method aims to imagine a future scenario of an investor's capital exit within a defined time horizon and depending on the current level of maturity of the startup. A turnover is calculated over this horizon and is applied to a transactional multiple (linked to the sector and the business plan of the startup assessed). The amount obtained corresponds to the valuation of the company at the time of the exit. It must then be updated to deduce the current value of the startup.
