Valuation Services
A Comprehensive Approach
Valuations are done for a number of reasons. Cognitive focuses exclusively on valuing companies that are seeking financing at Seed Stage through late series. Valuation at this stage is an art that advantages entrepreneurs by providing them with a substantive understanding of the metrics by which investment decisions are being made.
Cognitive uses the same scientometric approach to valuation by evaluating comparable and competitive companies to understand their trajectory (growth) and velocity (pace of growth) and establish Key Investment Indicators that can help focus limited resources toward those activities that are most important to investors.
Our Valuation also considers the key market sector trends and potential competition for regional, national and global markets as well as the strengths and weaknesses of a specific company.
