"FORBES spoke to a dozen venture capitalists, analysts and industry experts and concluded that a more realistic value for Theranos is $800 million, rather than $9 billion. That gives the company credit for its intellectual property and the $724 million that it has raised, according to VC Experts, a venture capital research firm. It also represents a generous multiple of the company’s sales, which FORBES learned about from a person familiar with Theranos’ finances."
Wonder how much weight this holds
- jerryhuang100 10y agoi would say that valuing Theranos' IP at $76M is very generous as their portfolio of non-core patents has nothing to cover their proprietary Edison or whatsoever. Given such generous valuation and multiple does that means Theranos' revenue is just somewhere between $8M (100x as Uber) or $800K (less fund ever raised)? That would be pathetic.
