Company Valuation & legal issues of joint ventures with investors
What’s the value of your company?
By Sjoerd Klabbers, BDO
Determining the value of a company is never straightforward—especially for startups. Emotions often come into play, alongside the complexity of multiple valuation methods. Without a track record, predicting future performance becomes a challenge. Yet, understanding your company’s worth is critical, particularly when external funding is the key to growth.
This part of the workshop breaks down the essentials of valuation for startups and scale-ups at any growth stage. You’ll learn how to navigate valuation methods, prepare for negotiations, and set the right conditions to secure a deal. Whether you’re gearing up to pitch to investors or planning your next funding round, this session will equip you with the tools and insights to succeed.
See through the investor’s eyes
By Björn Schaap, Oost NL
The most successful deals happen when entrepreneurs and investors align their goals. But to reach this point, you need to understand what’s driving the person across the table. What do investors prioritize in a business case? What are their expectations of you now and later, as a shareholder in your company? And just as importantly, what can you expect from them?
Rather than focusing solely on getting a bigger slice of the pie, this part of the workshop emphasizes collaboration—working together to grow the pie for everyone.
Legal foundations for investors partnerships

When entrepreneurs and investors partner, shared goals can align beautifully—but differences in approach can arise. Topics like exit strategies and decision-making between the management board and shareholders often spark challenges. This part of the workshop provides insights into these critical areas, helping you anticipate and address potential friction points. A solid understanding of these dynamics ensures smoother, more productive partnerships.
