How to Choose the Best Valuation Method ?

I am actually building a valuation / feasibility study platform (not really done with it: https://www.frontfigure.com/ ). So based on my experience for tech startups, the best quick method is to do a T+1 revenue multiple, that means your next 12 months forecasted revenue multiplied by a revenue multiple of your industry and country / comparable companies. At the end of day, this would only imply a fair valuation, but then the actual valuation agreed upon would be based on the negotiations and other terms agreed upon. Good luck Bahaa

In my limited experience it always seemed to come down to what number makes every one equally uncomfortable but that can be sold to their respective parties. I guess a big part comes down to the companies funding method and the reason for the valuation.
