I'd appreciate any feedback on a marketplace / data / media company that has substantial growth in ARR / MRR .. but not necessarily EBITA. I realize this is perhaps the wrong crowd for the question, but I thought I'd ask:

"What is a reasonable multiple of ARR?" To value a company that is essentially the "Zillow" of aviation / aerospace / eVTOLs and UAVs?

We are engaging our first investors / suitors and we want to have a crystal clear sense of what a future valuation might be given ARR / MRR growth currently and projections.

Depends on CAC/LTV at key scale inflection points. I’ve seen companies have to 10x their Google ads buy and add supporting inbound sales staffing just to keep up their MRR targets. As a former C172 PP how would this compare to flight clubs?

What is the size, growth rate, gross margin %, cash burn, and gross & net $ retention? These are key factors, among others, to consider when attributing a potential valuation.
