Abstract:
In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the valuation of startup companies holds significant importance, given the increasing interest in startups among companies. Valuation models for startups typically fall into two categories: quantitative and qualitative methods. This study employs a qualitative research approach, utilizing meta-synthesis methodology, to identify and categorize these valuation models. Through a systematic evaluation of 162 previous research findings using Wilson's seven-step meta-synthesis process, nine main categories and 63 sub-categories were extracted from the literature. These categories were then analyzed and weighted using Shannon Entropy analysis. The findings reveal two overarching categories: quantitative valuation, encompassing cost-oriented, market-oriented, revenue-oriented, and actual methods, and qualitative valuation, comprising human capital, organizational capital, market-based assets, industrial structure, and quality techniques. This study's outcomes offer valuable insights for venture capitalists and financial managers, facilitating a deeper understanding of startup valuation and the classification of valuation models.
