I have been participating in a discussion with other LinkedIn members about the valuation of new entities over the past week or so. Clearly, there is no hard and fast rule to this process- and, that’s mostly because we have no hard and fast ability to determine who is going to succeed in the long term. It’s a little easier to evaluate a going business, as long as we don’t try to discern how much the future will impact the value of the company right now.
