This MasterClass will review commonly used techniques for technology valuation. It will assume no prior knowledge of valuation methodology\, and will focus on practicalities rather than corporate finance theory; a basic knowledge of Excel spreadsheets and accounting methods is assumed. It is intended primarily for early stage companies\, university technology transfer managers\, investors and their advisors\, and will include case studies and real examples. \nCaptum’s MasterClass: Valuing Technology is a non- mathematical introduction to technology valuation methods\, leading to Risk Adjusted Net Present Value\, the most widely used method. A case will be used to illustrate each method\, and there will be several practice exercises for delegates.  \n \nTopics covered will include: \n\n Subjective valuation; score cards\n Market value\n Asset/cost value\n Comparison value\n Net Present value\n Risk adjusted net present value and Monte Carlo simulation\n How cognitive biases effect value\n\nCases discussed will illustrate the valuation of fee and royalty inncome in licensing deals as well how venture capital investments are valued.\n\nWho Should Attend:\n \nThis MasterClass is appropriate for those new to valuation methodology; those with more experience can benefit from an introduction to newer methods such as Monte Carlo simulation and insights into license and VC valuations.\n \nRegistration Fees:\n \nThe Registration Fee includes lunch and MasterClass materials: workbook\, cases and Excel models\, £250 + VAT per delegate.\n\nSecond and further delgates from the same organisation receive a 20% discount on fees.\n\nFor full prgram details see www.captum.com\n\nFor more information contact: Suzanne Sisto Brand (ssb@captum.com or 0115 988 6154) URL:https://mediwales.com/event/captum-masterclass-valuing-technology/ CATEGORIES:External END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
