1. Basic value,
2. Technology,
3. Execution,
4. Strategic relationships in its core market,
5. Production and sales.
6. Team (Founders)

This method helps the founders and investors avoid false financial revenue projections of the company.

• Cost-to-duplicate approach - It is based on estimating the costs associated with starting another business exactly like it from scratch. It entails accounting for all fees and expenditures related to the company and its product creation, including the acquisition of its physical assets.
• The comparable transaction method - The comparable valuation, sometimes referred to as the multiples valuation, is a market approach valuation technique that determines a company's worth by comparing it to its peer group. It uses a number of multipliers and ratios to find the value of a company.
• Risk factor summation method - It is a pre-money valuation of the start-ups in their early stages. It is a method of valuation that places an emphasis on the risk involved in starting a business in a certain sector and region. The lower the risk, the higher the valuation of the start-up. It takes the following risks into consideration:

1. Management
2. Stage of the business
3. Funding/capital risk
4. Manufacturing risk
5. Technology risk
6. Sales and marketing risk
7. Competition risk
8. Legislation/political risk
9. Litigation risk
10. International risk
11. Reputation risk

• The Scorecard valuation method - The scorecard approach modifies the average valuation of previously funded firms in the area and compares the target firm to typical angel-backed start-up ventures to determine its pre-money valuation. Only businesses at the same developmental stage may be low compared in this way.
• Discounted Cash flow method - The present value of estimated future cash flows is determined using a discount rate. When evaluating whether future cash flows from a project or investment will exceed the value of the initial investment, investors might use the concept of the present value of money. 
• Book value method - The book value method is based on asset valuation. For a startup, the company’s book minus its liabilities. Comparing the book value and market value of shares can be a useful valuation approach for determining if shares are properly priced.
