Valtech Shares Its Views and Experience in Startups’ Valuation and Their Attributes in Successful Fundraising

Published

on

HONG KONG, March 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The true value of proper valuation comes from independence. Through independent research conducted by professional valuers, startups and venture capital firms gain access to objective analysis performed using appropriate valuation approaches. Valtech has actively helped numerous aspiring startups and fund managers by performing comprehensive business valuations, analysing business models and projected growth prospects, and in-depth benchmarking analysis. This support greatly facilitates and accelerates price discovery and deal negotiation processes.

Today, Max Tsang, a director of Valtech Valuation, — a CPA, CFA, FRM, Chartered Valuation Surveyor, and a business appraiser Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) by AICPA — is pleased to share the firm’s insights and experience. The aim is to help more startups understand the true value of professional valuation and rethink how they should prepare for it.

Valuing a Business: More Art than Science

Valuation is not an exact science. The use of more data, research, and databases does not automatically lead to a more accurate result. Valuation is inherently dependent on the basis of value. Market value and investment value defined by International Valuation Standards (IVS) are possible basis of value for startup valuation. The selection of basis of value will depend on the purpose of valuation and the actual context. In addition, the judgment will also include underlying key assumptions and the details in application of valuation methods. Depending on knowledge and skills in finance and investment banking, valuation specialist can supplement the analysis using a great variety of skills such as monte carlo simulation, regression, waterfall charts etc. All these will affect the influence and impact of the valuation.

Valuation Methods Explained

There are three general approaches in valuation:

Cost Approach
This method is rarely applied in startup valuations, as most founders believe their innovative ideas are worth far more than the initial costs incurred.Income Approach
This method can be applied, but it is often challenging for pre-revenue startups. However, a reasonable and well-supported financial projection and capital budgeting analysis can clearly communicate your financial goals and illustrate the expected growth trajectory over the next 3-5 years. With Valtech’s guidance, this becomes a logical and systematic process — identifying the value creation potential from each unit of product or service sold. By making reference to relevant sources, Valtech define realistic market size and growth assumptions, ensuring the financial model is logical and persuasive.Market Approach (They call it Comprehensive Benchmarking) 
This approach uses comparative analysis, collecting valuation metrics from public companies and private transactions. Think of it like valuing your apartment based on recent sales of similar apartments nearby. However, startup founders often fall victim to survivorship bias — they focus only on announced valuations of successful startups, often ignoring adjustment factors like funding round stage, geography, and business model differences. In reality, systematic, logical, and persuasive adjustments are necessary to align benchmark data with the unique circumstances of the subject startup. Valtech ensures these adjustments are applied appropriately.

In application, there are further variations of method for better analysis. For example, risk net present value method (a variety of income approach) is considered to be a better method in valuing biotechnology and healthcare startups.

Budget Concerns — Finding the Right Balance

Valtech fully recognizes that early-stage startups often have tight budgets when appointing valuation specialists. However, the quality of your valuation report directly impacts investors’ first impressions of your company. A well-prepared valuation not only demonstrates professionalism, but also shows how well your team can communicate and support your claims with solid evidence and sensible forecasts.

Engaging a reputable and professional valuation team gives investors confidence that your valuation is grounded in independent analysis, rather than soley internal projections.

Avoid Over-Reliance on Generative AI for Business Plans

A lengthy business plan does not guarantee a good business plan. For valuation purposes, the focus should be on:

Your team’s profiles and experienceYour business model and its unique value propositionThe innovative and competitive aspects of your products or servicesClear and realistic expansion plansA well-defined budget for utilizing the funds raised

Generative AI can assist in drafting, but blindly relying on AI-generated content often results in generic, unfocused plans that fail to address the unique qualities of your business. Investors expect tailored narratives with authentic insights — something no AI can fully capture.

Your Startup is Unique — Focus on Your Uniqueness

As a startup, you have a unique business idea — one that either solves a critical pain point in the market or disrupts existing players through innovation. While AI can assist in brainstorming, your competitive edge lies in your team’s creativity, execution capability, and market understanding.

Ask yourself: Can AI generate innovative business ideas? Yes — but the real question is: How unique, feasible, and defensible are those ideas?

Plenty of Successful Fundraising Stories from Valtech Clients

Valuation is not just about calculating numbers — it’s about explaining your venture through numbers. Valtech provides multi-dimensional analysis, considering both the founder’s perspective and the investor’s perspective. This balance helps create valuation reports that are credible and persuasive.

At the same time, investors rely on more than just valuation reports. Many uses proprietary scorecards to evaluate:

Team quality and experienceProduct-market fitCompetitive advantage and IPBusiness scalability and operational resilienceExit potential and projected returns

Valtech has witnessed countless successful fundraising journeys among its clients — all at reasonable and defensible valuations. These startups come from diverse sectors, but they all share a common trait: they provide solid proof to justify their value. This proof can take various forms:

Well-articulated ideas with clear commercial potentialWorking prototypesA strong, experienced founding teamEstablished strategic partnershipsDemonstrated viability in reaching the next growth stage

Final Thoughts — Valtech’s Value Proposition

Startup valuation is not a one-size-fits-all exercise. Every startup has a unique story, growth trajectory, risk profile, and value proposition. At Valtech, they go beyond just crunching numbers. They help startups shape their valuation report, and navigate the challenging price discovery process with confidence.

If you want to secure investment at a reasonable and defensible valuation, you need more than just financial modeling skills — you need a trusted valuation partner who understands investor needs, market dynamics, and trends.

Best AI Tools for Marketing Content (2026): CapCut Recognized for Faster AI-Powered Video and Image Creation by Better Business Advice

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Better Business Advice has recognized CapCut in its 2026 coverage of the best AI tools for marketing content, highlighting its collection of AI-powered features for creating and editing videos, images, audio, and other campaign assets. The recognition reflects growing interest in tools that help transform creative concepts into usable marketing materials while reducing the manual work involved in production.

Best AI Marketing Tools

Seedance 2.0 – an AI video generation model that creates videos from text prompts or imagesSeedream – an AI image generation model that creates high-quality visuals from text prompts

AI-powered content creation is changing how businesses develop digital marketing campaigns. From promotional videos and product imagery to social media graphics and branded audio, organizations face growing demand for creative assets across multiple digital channels. Tools that simplify production and support faster experimentation are becoming an increasingly important part of modern marketing workflows.

CapCut offers a range of AI-assisted capabilities covering several stages of content creation. These include text-based video generation, AI image generation, background removal, image expansion, music generation, and photo animation. Together, the tools provide options for producing marketing assets for social media, digital advertising, product promotions, and other online campaigns.

AI Video Generation Supports Promotional Campaigns

Video is an important format for communicating product information, presenting services, and building audience engagement. However, producing video content regularly can require significant planning, editing, and creative resources.

CapCut’s Seedance 2.0 AI video generator supports prompt-based video creation. Users can describe a creative concept and generate video content that serves as a starting point for further development.

The capability can support promotional videos, product showcases, educational content, and social media campaigns. It also gives creators a way to explore different visual approaches during the planning stage before refining the selected direction.

For businesses producing content across multiple channels, AI-assisted video generation can help reduce the effort required to develop initial concepts. Generated material can then be reviewed and edited to align with campaign objectives, brand guidelines, and platform requirements.

Image Generation Helps Develop Marketing Concepts

Visual assets influence how products, services, and campaigns are presented to audiences. Developing suitable imagery often involves several rounds of brainstorming and creative testing before a final direction is selected.

CapCut’s Seedream AI image generator enables users to create images from text prompts. The tool can support concept drafts, campaign planning, and experimentation with different visual styles.

For example, a seasonal marketing campaign may require several approaches to backgrounds, compositions, and visual themes. AI-generated drafts can help illustrate those options before resources are committed to final production.

CapCut’s GPT Image 2 provides another option for generating images from natural language instructions. The feature can support the development of promotional graphics, campaign imagery, and other visual assets.

These tools help shorten the early stages of creative development by making it easier to turn written ideas into visual references. Human review remains important to ensure the resulting assets accurately represent the product and meet the campaign’s requirements.

Image Editing Simplifies Asset Preparation

AI image generation is only one part of preparing content for publication. Existing photographs and graphics often need adjustments before they can be used across marketing channels.

CapCut’s AI background removal tool helps separate subjects from their original backgrounds. This can be useful when preparing product images, promotional graphics, and other assets that require a different visual setting.

The AI Image Extender addresses the challenge of adapting images to different layouts. By generating content beyond an image’s original boundaries, the tool can help users adjust compositions for different formats without relying entirely on cropping or stretching.

These capabilities can support the preparation of visuals for social media posts, website banners, digital advertisements, and product promotions. They also provide options for repurposing existing creative assets instead of producing entirely new images for every placement.

AI Audio and Photo Animation Expand Creative Options

Marketing content often combines visuals, movement, and sound to communicate a message. Producing these elements separately can add complexity to the creative process.

CapCut’s SeedMusic AI audio generator supports AI-assisted music creation based on creative prompts. Generated music can be used as a starting point for videos, promotional campaigns, and other multimedia projects, subject to appropriate review and usage requirements.

The platform’s Photo-to-3D tool offers another way to adapt still images into more dynamic visual content. This capability can help transform existing photography into animated presentations for product showcases, social media, and digital promotions.

By supporting audio creation and image animation alongside video and image tools, CapCut provides additional options for developing varied marketing materials.

A Connected Workflow for Marketing Content

CapCut’s collection of AI-powered features supports several stages of campaign production within one creative environment. A project could begin with concept images generated through Seedream, followed by visual development with GPT Image 2. Background removal and image expansion can then help prepare assets for different placements.

Selected visuals can be incorporated into video projects using Seedance 2.0, while SeedMusic offers an option for developing accompanying audio. Photo-to-3D can provide another format for repurposing existing images.

Not every campaign requires all these capabilities. Their practical value depends on the content format, production requirements, and intended audience. Reviewing generated assets for accuracy, visual consistency, and suitability remains essential before publication.

Better Business Advice’s recognition of CapCut reflects the growing role of AI-assisted production in digital marketing. As businesses continue to develop content for multiple channels, tools that support video creation, image generation, editing, and multimedia production can help simplify creative workflows while leaving room for human direction and quality control.
