Overview

Equidam is an online valuation platform that appraises startups through five weighted methodologies — two DCF variants, the VC method, Scorecard and Checklist — calibrated with industry benchmarks and produced as shareable reports. Built primarily for founders pricing a raise, it gives early-stage investors a structured second opinion on pre-seed and seed asks, and a defensible framework where no clean comparables exist.

Key features

  • Five weighted valuation methodologies
  • DCF, VC method, Scorecard and Checklist approaches
  • Industry benchmark calibration
  • Shareable, negotiation-ready reports
  • Scenario adjustments on assumptions

Pros

  • Multi-method output resists single-model bias
  • Cheap enough to run on every serious term-sheet discussion
  • Transparent assumptions invite productive negotiation

Cons

  • Founder-facing framing — investors adapt rather than adopt
  • Early-stage valuation remains judgment; the model just organizes it
