Equidam review
A startup-focused valuation tool with a free weighted model and paid reporting options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Equidam is an online valuation platform for startups and private companies, aimed at founders preparing to fundraise as well as investors and advisors evaluating companies. Its weighted valuation combines Scorecard, Checklist, Venture Capital, and two discounted cash flow methods: one using long-term growth and one using multiples. Users enter company and financial information, adjust assumptions, and can create copies of a valuation to compare scenarios. That mix makes it most relevant when a startup wants a structured pre-money estimate rather than a broad toolkit for every kind of business valuation.
The Essential plan is free and includes the five-method engine, an on-screen valuation range, and scenario modeling, but no downloadable report. Advanced adds PDF, XLSX, or Markdown exports, customizable valuation parameters, benchmarks, and sensitivity analysis; Expert includes those features plus expert review of inputs and assumptions, a written report, and a one-on-one report call. The 409A Valuation plan is listed at $1,990 per year and includes an IRC 409A-compliant valuation report, 12-month safe-harbor protection, continuous access for a year, and multiple option plans and grant groups. Advanced and Expert are one-time fees, while published pricing is region-adjusted.
Equidam’s strongest fit is a founder who wants to start with a free weighted estimate, then add reporting or deeper assumption analysis as needed. Its scenario comparison and sensitivity analysis help make the effect of changed assumptions visible, while paid benchmarks provide market and financial reference points. The product is narrower than a general-purpose business valuation package: its stated methods focus on startup-oriented approaches and do not include an asset-based method. Companies that need that approach should consider a different valuation tool. Equidam is delivered through the web, with chat support and GDPR listed as compliance coverage.
