Data & Analytics: A Founder’s Guide to Growth & Maximising Valuation

How much is your Data & Analytics (D&A) business worth? What really drives valuation in this sector - and how can you position your business to grow and realise its full potential?

These are common questions for founders of D&A businesses, but clear answers can be hard to come by. Public benchmarks often don’t apply, and deal multiples are rarely disclosed.

To help address this, we’ve published Data & Analytics: A Founder’s Guide to Growth & Maximising Valuation, drawing on our experience of working with and appraising D&A businesses.

The report explores:

  • The key metrics and characteristics that drive valuation in D&A

  • Practical ways to strengthen market position, scalability, and defensibility

  • The role private equity investment can play in supporting growth

It also includes a case study on portfolio company IWSR, a leading provider of beverage alcohol data and intelligence, where strategic investment and focus have helped more than double revenue during our partnership.
