An estimate of a company's overall value by the market or investors. Private companies often reference the post-money price of their most recent financing round, and primary-market valuations lack a unified public standard.

When losses reach several times revenue, the implicit assumption of the EV/Revenue valuation method (that losses will narrow as scale expands) is called into question, and the multiple loses its anchoring meaning.
Valuation refers to the market's or investors' estimate of a company's overall value, and private companies usually use the post-money price of the most recent financing round as a reference.
An excessively high valuation can create a 'valuation trap' in the next financing round, while excessive dilution can undermine the founding team's control and incentives.
Market capitalization is the stock price multiplied by total shares outstanding, reflecting the market's expected valuation of a company's future earnings, not the cash readily available on the company's books.
