Episode 19 The Hidden Levers that Drive the Majority of Your Exit Value

🎙️ Special Edition Podcast: How to Play the Valuation Game

This week’s Raise & Exit episode is different — it’s a live recording of Edgar Baum’s talk at the Silicon Y’all Conference, where nearly 100 SaaS and tech CEOs, VCs, and PE leaders gathered to unpack one question:

👉 What really drives your company’s valuation — and how can you influence it? In this special session, Edgar walks through how founders can:

⚡ See beyond “industry average” multiples — and why they’re often meaningless

⚡ Identify what truly drives a premium: commercial model, timing, and scarcity

⚡ Use quarterly valuation discipline to turn intelligence into negotiating power

⚡ Build a “valuation playbook” to win your own exit championship Whether you’re raising capital or planning your next exit, this talk reframes valuation as a strategic sport — not a math problem.
