Profit ≠ Value
Buyers buy futures, not pasts
Revenue ≠ Multiple
Quality of revenue changes everything
Growth = Everything
Trajectory is priced before results

One wrong assumption can cost you millions.
Most founders discover these issues when it's too late.

Valuation Optimization
Your business is worth €X – €Y
But this number can double.
Or collapse.

Most founders lose 50–80% of their valuation before selling. Not because of profit. Because of structure.

  • ⚠️
    Owner dependency. If you're the business, buyers apply a deep discount. You leave — revenue leaves.
  • ⚠️
    Client concentration. Three clients, 80% of revenue. One call ends everything.
  • ⚠️
    No growth trajectory. Flat revenue means a low multiple. Sometimes below 1× revenue.
Fix this before they discount your business.
Most founders discover these issues when it's too late.

The Analyst

Built by someone
who has done this for real.

M&A and Corporate Finance background. Specialized in valuation and business modeling across private equity transactions, founder exits, and VC fundraises.

This tool was built from the same logic used in real transaction models — not textbook theory. The DCF includes Capex, working capital changes, and a proper terminal value — because that's how deals are actually priced.

The gap between what founders think their business is worth and what an investor will pay for it is almost always structural. That's what this tool — and this advisory — is designed to fix.

🏦
M&A Advisory
Buy-side and sell-side transactions. Understanding what buyers actually look for — and what kills deals at the last minute.
📊
Business Modeling
DCF, LBO, comparable analysis. Models built for real negotiations — seed rounds to multi-million exits.
💼
Corporate Finance
Capital structure, WACC analysis, debt advisory. The mechanics behind every valuation number.
🎯
Founder Advisory
Helped founders understand their real number before any negotiation. The gap between expectation and reality is always the biggest risk.
