How Industry Insight Drives Smarter Valuations | Business Ninjas: WriteForMe & Teknos Associates

In this episode of Business Ninjas, Andrew speaks with Isaac Salem, Vice President at Teknos Associates, about the art—and science—behind accurate startup valuations. With a sharp focus on tech and biotech sectors, Isaac explains how Teknos bridges deep industry expertise with data-driven analysis to deliver valuation services that go far beyond spreadsheets. Whether it’s a Series A startup gearing up for funding or a late-stage company preparing for IPO or acquisition, Teknos partners with clients to deliver honest, actionable insights. Instead of over-relying on automation or billing like the Big Four, they take a relationship-driven approach. Isaac also shares thoughts on how AI is shaking up EdTech, why judgment still matters in finance, and how Teknos helps founders avoid false precision in a world obsessed with data. Teknos Associates is a full-service valuation consulting firm with deep experience in financial reporting, tax compliance, and 409A valuations. Known for their industry-specific insights and commitment to integrity, Teknos supports venture-backed companies across their full lifecycle—from early funding to acquisition and IPO. 🔗  Learn more about Teknos Associates: https://www.teknosassociates.com/ 💼  Connect on LinkedIn: Teknos Associates https://www.linkedin.com/company/teknos-associates-llc/ 👤 Connect with Isaac Salem: Isaac on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaac-salem-32b9b457 ----- Do you want to be interviewed for your business?  Schedule time with us, and we"ll create a podcast like this for your business:  https://www.WriteForMe.io/ ----- https://www.facebook.com/writeforme.io https://www.instagram.com/writeforme.io/ https://twitter.com/writeformeio https://www.linkedin.com/company/writeforme/ https://www.pinterest.com/andysteuer/ Want to be interviewed on our Business Ninjas podcast?
