Startup headlines love big numbers. “$50 million valuation.”“Unicorn status achieved.”“$200 million Series B.” Valuation has become the scoreboard of modern entrepreneurship. But here’s the uncomfortable reality: Most startup valuations are not reflections of real value. They are reflections of negotiation, narrative, and timing. Valuation Is Not Revenue A startup’s valuation does not equal its revenue….
