Startup valuation questions, answered
How much is my startup worth?
+
Startup valuations are typically expressed as a multiple of ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue). The right multiple depends on your industry, growth rate, net revenue retention, and gross margins. SaaS companies with 50%+ growth and strong retention can command 8–12x ARR; slower-growing or lower-margin businesses typically see 2–5x. Use the calculator above to get an instant estimate based on your specific metrics.
What ARR multiple should I use to value my startup?
+
ARR multiples vary by industry and growth profile. In 2024–2025, B2B SaaS typically trades at 4–12x ARR, E-commerce at 1–3x, Marketplace at 3–8x, Fintech at 3–7x, and Healthtech at 3–8x. Growth rate, NRR, and gross margin are the biggest adjustment factors — each can swing the multiple by 1–2x. Customer concentration (top 3 customers > 50% of revenue) is one of the most significant discount factors buyers apply.
What factors most affect a startup's valuation?
+
The five biggest drivers: (1) Revenue growth — acquirers pay a premium for 50%+ YoY growth; (2) Net Revenue Retention — NRR above 120% signals strong product-market fit; (3) Gross margin — higher margins support higher multiples; (4) Customer concentration — if your top 3 customers represent more than 50% of revenue, buyers discount significantly; (5) Industry — B2B SaaS commands the highest multiples due to recurring revenue predictability.
