In this episode of Business Ninjas, Andrew speaks with Isaac Salem, Vice President at Teknos Associates, about the art—and science—behind accurate startup valuations. With a sharp focus on tech and biotech sectors, Isaac explains how Teknos bridges deep industry expertise with data-driven analysis to deliver valuation services that go far beyond spreadsheets.
Whether it’s a Series A startup gearing up for funding or a late-stage company preparing for IPO or acquisition, Teknos partners with clients to deliver honest, actionable insights. Instead of over-relying on automation or billing like the Big Four, they take a relationship-driven approach. Isaac also shares thoughts on how AI is shaking up EdTech, why judgment still matters in finance, and how Teknos helps founders avoid false precision in a world obsessed with data.
Teknos Associates is a full-service valuation consulting firm with deep experience in financial reporting, tax compliance, and 409A valuations. Known for their industry-specific insights and commitment to integrity, Teknos supports venture-backed companies across their full lifecycle—from early funding to acquisition and IPO.
