Free tool for African founders

Startup Readiness & Valuation Diagnostic

Complete each section to get three independent valuation signals calibrated to African market data — plus your investor-readiness score, emailed to you.

Read before you use the valuation output. Valuations below are illustrative estimates based on the Scorecard Method, revenue multiples, and African stage benchmarks — not a professional appraisal. African startup valuations are typically lower than equivalent US companies due to a higher cost of capital, thinner exit markets, and currency risk. This tool uses those Africa-specific ranges. When the three outputs disagree significantly, that disagreement is itself useful information — it means your self-assessment may differ from what comparable deals actually close at. Discuss any figure with an advisor before using it in a pitch.
Enter 0 if pre-revenue. This powers the revenue-multiple check.
