Making business valuation accessible to everyone
Business valuation has traditionally been an expensive, time-consuming process reserved for companies with deep pockets. Professional valuations from advisory firms cost $3,000–$50,000+ and take weeks to deliver, often with opaque methodology.
ValueAlpha was built to change that. We believe every business owner, advisor, and investor deserves access to the same caliber of valuation analysis used by investment banks and private equity firms.
Our platform combines four core valuation methodologies — discounted cash flow, comparable companies, precedent transactions, and scenario analysis — powered by AI that helps estimate assumptions, identify peers, and generate comprehensive reports in minutes instead of weeks.
Built by people who've done this for real
ValueAlpha is built by a curated team from Columbia Business School, Columbia Engineering, and Wall Street. We've built valuation models for billion-dollar M&A deals, written the code behind scalable AI platforms, and evaluated hundreds of companies as investors. Now we're making that expertise accessible to everyone.
Columbia Business School
MBA-trained in valuation, corporate finance, and M&A strategy. Our financial models are built on the same frameworks taught in Columbia's top-ranked finance curriculum.
Columbia Engineering
Our engineering team brings deep expertise in AI/ML, full-stack development, and scalable systems from Columbia's School of Engineering and Applied Science.
Investment Banking
Former investment bankers who've executed real M&A transactions and built valuation models for billion-dollar deals. We know what a defensible valuation looks like.
Private Equity & Venture Capital
Team members with direct experience in PE and VC, evaluating hundreds of companies and understanding what investors look for in a valuation.
Our principles
Transparency
Every assumption is documented. No black boxes. You see exactly how your valuation is calculated.
Rigor
We use the same methodologies taught at top business schools and practiced by investment banks.
Accessibility
Professional-grade analysis shouldn't require a finance degree or a $50,000 budget.
Honesty
Valuations are always ranges, never single numbers. We show you the bear, base, and bull cases.
