State of the Market - April 2025
Today marks our first monthly market update where we share the latest macro insights, trends, multiples, and benchmarks - all backed by facts & figures.
Most data for today’s episode was provided by our partner Multiples.vc, your go-to source for verified M&A valuation multiples and public comps based on analyst estimates, at a fraction of the price of legacy data providers.
We aim to unify all macro, market & valuation data into a single episode, so you don’t need to check various sources to get a complete picture. Here’s what we’ll cover today:
Macro: Key indicators & perspectives from economic, finance, and political leaders
Markets: Venture funding, M&A & IPO activity + top 50 IPO candidates
Multiples: Valuation, growth & efficiency benchmarks
