Pre-revenue infrastructure asset. Replacement cost + IP portfolio + time compression.
ETHRAEON is a pre-revenue infrastructure asset. Valuation is based on replacement cost, IP portfolio value, time compression, and strategic premium. Two valuation layers reflect different buyer profiles and strategic contexts.
Asset liquidation value. IP portfolio + deployed infrastructure at floor pricing. Buyer: PE acqui-hire, IP aggregator.
Fair market value for operational infrastructure. Reflects 580K EUR development absorption and 12-24 month time compression. Buyer: Enterprise software, FinTech.
Premium for strategic buyer with urgent governance need. EU AI Act timing, competitive positioning. Buyer: Cloud provider, financial services.
Internal valuation model based on replacement cost, time-compression, and strategic premium under regulatory tailwinds.
IP assets + team replacement cost + development runway. Reflects build-not-buy calculation for platform replication.
Comparable AI governance transactions + market position. 8x ARR SaaS benchmark applied to projected deployment scale.
Strategic acquisition premium + regulatory moat value. 12-15x ARR infrastructure benchmark for platform acquirers.
Two Valuation Layers: Transaction tiers (€2.5M–€40M) reflect near-term deal structure and speed. The canonical matrix (€267M–€750M+) reflects strategic replacement cost and moat value at scale. Both frameworks are valid for different contexts and buyer profiles.
