Two ways to valuate and put a price tag to your Startup.
There is an everlasting struggle between creativity and innovation vs cold business and hard finance.
Putting a price tag to your product is a fundamental starting point in raising the necessary capital to set off your business venture.
However, we recognize it is a very difficult thing to put a value your startup. How do you make a safe estimate? Is there any easy straight forward way to do that? What do you need to consider to give a realistic IRR and NPV calculation to your potential investors? How do you estimate the discount rate that you need to apply?
I haven’t missed an Intersolar exhibition in Munich since 2012. It is very interesting to see how the exhibition reflects the psychology and the trends of the market.
From the boom times and the rush to build parks driven by subsidies and incentives, to the rise of batteries and now to a market with signs of maturity.
This year I had the opportunity to see the exhibition and take sample of the market as an independent professional and not through corporate filters. I am pleased to admit that signs are very encouraging.

Disruption and the era of constant re-invention are upon us. Everything changes, the way we live, the way we work, the way we communicate, even our traditional perceptions are challenged.
So why, as societies, we insist on preserving a learning system which remains the same for decades and represents outdated social and economic models of the past century? Who decided that maths and literature are more important than painting and dancing? How education is transforming itself and what can we do as parents to instill confidence and foster creativity to our children?
One thing is sure the new digital era brought change on how we exchange information and how we share and disseminate knowledge.

To innovate or die is no longer just a slogan, it is the pressing truth. Creativity is one of, if not the most, powerful tool a person or a business can have. Now more than ever, companies are in a dire need to not only push their boundaries but to radically adopt and diversify for the future.
From having brick-like Motorola mobile phones to the sleek designed iPhones, horse carriages to electrical cars, and wood burners to solar panel for the generation of energy. The world is changing, progressing, and innovating in such a rapid pace. Yet, one thing remains the same, the basic institution of education, schools.
Smartphones and tablets have changed the way we operate, the way we work and the way we communicate, both in the work environment and in our everyday lives.
The strategies towards new technological applications that providers and hardware companies are enforcing as well as the bohemian bourgeois lifestyle that the Western World is adopting (see Steve Jobs and Elon Musk) leads to deep penetration of the market and adoption of mobile devices from consumers.
This change in behavior alters the ways that information is transmitted, stored and managed. So much so that companies are forced to develop a corporate policy towards the use of Mobiles and tablets in the workplace.
