What factors affect your company's valuation? Knowing how to value your company - and how to know your company is being valued properly - can make the difference in your success. Listen to leaders in the venture capital industry discuss how to value your company at every stage.

Learn answers to questions like:
* What can I do to improve or change the valuation of my company?
* Are revenues more important than profits?
* What are the most important valuation factors for my industry?
* How does competition affect valuation?
* My competitor just raised $10 million. Does that help or hurt my valuation?
* I've gotten drastically different valuations from different VCs. What does that mean?
* If I'm not getting the valuation I want, should I wait and go back to VCs later?
