Codon Valuation

Codon Valuation estimates the value of a private company's common stock (US) or ordinary shares (UK) before a formal valuation.

Give it the company's cap table and finances, such as share counts by class, the last priced round, revenue, cash and debt, and it returns an indicative low, mid and high value per share with the method and every assumption shown. The method follows what the company provides: an option pricing model calibrated to a recent priced round, a roll-forward of an older round blended with a revenue multiple, a sector revenue multiple, or an asset-based range for pre-revenue companies. Value is allocated across share classes with a Black-Scholes option pricing model, then a discount for lack of marketability is applied using the Finnerty and Chaffe models.

It also explains the documents and process for a formal IRC 409A valuation or an HMRC EMI valuation.

All tools are read-only. Nothing is stored, no account is needed, and the tools do not ask for names or other personal information. Results are indicative planning estimates: they are not a 409A valuation, do not provide safe harbor protection, and are not a valuation agreed with HMRC.
