This case is designed as an opening exercise to familiarize pupils with several methods used to value early-stage companies. Students are asked to value the business under the DCF and VC methods and after that compare those values to the value obtained under the actual alternative approach.
It truly is proposed that the student spreadsheet (UV4357) be put in advance of the class with directions to have students value the business under the VC and DCF procedures. Another worksheet in the file (which may be hidden at the teacher's discretion) provides the option valuation for later discussion goals. A practical note, "Valuing the Early-Stage Company" (UV1363), covering the principles of the VC and DCF methods of valuation can be assigned with the case.
