The original interview was published on April 4th, 2019. This is the audio track of a video interview: https://youtu.be/kSukV8PUrk4 In this interview, we talk to Yoram Wijngaarde, founder of the data platform Dealroom.co (https://blog.dealroom.co/). He is a former employee of Lehmann Brothers New York (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehman_Brothers), and during the interview, we talk about his experience of the collapse from the inside. “Germany is more restraint – conservative – with publishing [Venture Capital] numbers” Affiliated Links Our Affiliate Partner Co-Working WeWork Marketing / SEO / Graphics / Sounds and more Fiverr Email service?

During all of his work, he bumped into problems finding good data on the valuation of startups in Europe. Data for startups from the UK and US is easy to come by, but continental Europe was still a problem. He then set out to solve this problem with the founding of Dealroom.co. “Where venture capital ends and private equity begins or public markets begin, these lines are really blurring … this is what we are seeing and this is why the rounds get larger and larger” During the interview Yoram and Joe talk about: Mergers and Acquisition (Investment Banking – Takeovers, Mergers or Buyouts) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mergers_and_acquisitions A small overview of company valuations Multiples https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/multiplesapproach.asp DCF https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dcf.asp Real Options https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/realoption.asp You can learn more about the valuation of options here (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/riskrewardratio.asp) February Numbers 2019 https://blog.dealroom.co/february-broke-all-time-vc-investment-record-e2-9b-in-europe-e3-2b-including-israel/ “Are we in a bubble?
