"#Valuations will continue to go up as long as #capital is available. Something often overlooked is that #founders think they have to constantly raise," @francis_sani.

"#Valuations will trend higher because of more attention and more #capital. I acknowledge that lot of #founders are still struggling… keep building and keep optimising the cash that is raised and build for the long haul," Isaac Ewaleifoh.

"#Investors give their money in dollars and expect returns in dollars… think of how to repatriate returns, and this should be considered in #valuation," @francis_sani.

"A company with operations in multiple countries is better off… diversify away from countries where the valuation of the currency is very flexible," @francis_sani.

"It is really important to be conscious of currency devaluation in #StartupValuation… for instance, in #Nigeria, your business may be growing at core, but the value of that money is reducing as well, @francis_sani.

"We are going to keep seeing more new cash coming as companies either go public or get sold and create exit opportunities. Also, with more syndicates, there is the possibility of creating more secondary transactions and increasing trust," Isaac Ewaleifoh.

"Outside of #fintech and a few sectors, Europeans are known to be more bearish… Valuations and approach to valuations in Europe is more conservative than in emerging markets," @francis_sani.

"Most of the capital is in Silicon Valley with white males, those that can access that can more easily get a deal. The pool of capital is focused on a particular set of #founders who can get paid up. We see that in the four top #companies in Africa right now," Isaac Ewaleifoh.

"The easy availability of #capital has made it a lot harder for VCs to argue on #valuation. It is always about someone else willing to pay more for this. So, it's a take it or leave it situation," @francis_sani.

"The market has evolved… the challenge with valuation is people don’t look at it from multiple angles… how it affects the dynamics of #investors and #founders, and expectations of Limited Partners of VCs," @francis_sani

"My take on valuation on the intellectual side as an #investor is that it is what someone is willing to pay and what someone else is willing to part with", Isaac Ewaleifoh.
