Ep 3: What's going on with startup valuations? With Daniel Faloppa

Pennie Season 1 Episode 3

Last year, VC investment almost doubled to $643 billion, we had 586 new unicorns compared to 167 in 2020, and there were 1,033 US IPOs versus 471 a year earlier.

This year, things are changing - and fast - as share prices continue to fall rapidly. This is thanks to a perfect storm of accelerating inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical uncertainty. Not surprisingly, valuations are also starting to plummet. 

To help us weather the storm, we’re joined by founder of the valuations software company, Equidam, Daniel Faloppa. 


 TOPICS WE DISCUSSED INCLUDE

  • How 2022 differs from market crashes in 2000 or 2008

  • Mistakes some tech giants have made
  • What to consider when valuing benchmarks and multiples for your company
  • Why this is a positive time for founders
