Why are secondary valuations not rising?
Valuing a private company involves assessing its total worth (numerator) and the number of shares (denominator). If the company's value increases but shares also rise, the per-share value may not grow, akin to a fraction's dynamics. Reasons for rising shares include capital raising, employee compensation, acquisitions, debt conversion, and investor inclusion. To elevate a private stock's price, focus on revenue growth, profitability, strategic partnerships, market expansion, product innovation, and operational efficiency. Investing in venture stocks within bubbles or momentum carries risks and opportunities, demanding careful analysis, market timing, diversification, and risk management strategies.
