Abstract

Abstract: New ventures that lack a financial history and have a future that is not only unknown, but may be unknowable pose unique problems to the investment community. Since conventional valuation techniques do not work in these cases, entrepreneurs and investors resort to techniques that rely more on art than finance. Although a reduction in information asymmetry usually leads to an agreement between two parties, the methods the entrepreneur or investor use to value a new venture tend to increase this information gap. The author proposes a logical, systematic risk-based new venture valuation technique that reduces information asymmetry during this process.
