Why VestUp

Every other tool is built for raising money.

VestUp is built for founders who want to sell. It's a completely different question — with a completely different answer.

Carta, Equidam, BizEquity — they were built to answer “what can I tell an investor to put money in?”. Their multiples are calibrated on VC-backed startups. Their outputs are optimized for a pitch deck.

None of that helps if you're a bootstrapped Shopify store, a $2M ARR agency, or a profitable content site thinking about a sale. Different buyer pool. Different diligence. Different math.

Equidam tells startups what to tell investors.
VestUp tells profitable digital businesses what they're worth to a buyer — and how to get more.

We calibrate on 537+ closed digital transactions from Empire Flippers, Acquire.com, FE International and Aventis Advisors. Plus — because we're MENA-first — we're the only platform with real GCC buyer demand data and Arabic language support.

FAQ

Answers before you ask them.

Q.01
How do I value my online business without hiring a broker?
Enter your last 12 months of revenue, profit, growth rate, and churn into the VestUp valuation tool. Our engine benchmarks your business against 537+ recent closed transactions in the same category and returns a low / mid / high exit range in about three minutes. No broker, no NDAs, no sales call. Free to see the range; $39 for the full report.
+
Q.02
What's a typical SaaS business valuation multiple in 2026?
Q2 2026 median for bootstrapped SaaS businesses is 3.0–6.0× ARR, or 8.0–14.0× SDE / seller's discretionary earnings. High-growth (100%+ YoY), low-churn (<3%), high-margin (80%+) businesses trade near the top of that range. Multiples are moving upward — up 8.2% quarter-over-quarter — so a valuation from 12 months ago is likely stale.
+
Q.03
Should I use VestUp or Equidam / Carta?
Different jobs. Equidam and Carta calibrate on VC-backed startups and are optimized for founders trying to raise money. VestUp calibrates on closed acquisitions of digital businesses (SaaS, e-com, content, agencies) and is optimized for founders trying to sell. If you're bootstrapped and profitable, and thinking about an exit in the next 6–24 months, VestUp is the correct tool.
+
Q.04
How accurate is the valuation range?
Our engine reports a confidence score with every valuation, typically 70–90% depending on how many closely comparable deals exist in our set. In back-tests against 87 recently-closed digital transactions, the midpoint of our range fell within ±12% of the actual sale price 78% of the time.
+
Q.05
Do you support businesses in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and the wider GCC?
Yes — this is one of the reasons VestUp exists. We're the only valuation platform with a dedicated GCC buyer demand score, Arabic language support, and calibration against MENA-region digital transactions. If you're a founder in Riyadh, Dubai, Cairo or elsewhere in the region, no other tool will give you a meaningful number.
+
Q.06
What's in the $39 report that isn't in the free preview?
The full 15-page PDF: 5-method weighted valuation, multiple-adjustment waterfall across 9 quality factors, sensitivity heatmap, anonymized comparable deals, GCC / global buyer demand scoring, and a prioritized 90-day exit-readiness roadmap listing the specific levers that will move your number the most — with expected $ impact per action. One-time payment, instant download, no subscription.
+
Q.07
Is my data safe? Do you sell it to buyers or brokers?
Never. Your metrics are used only to compute your valuation and are stored encrypted. We do not list, broker, or sell to any acquisition platform. VestUp is a diagnostic — the decision to list, and where, is entirely yours.
