About Mltpl
Mltpl was founded to make private company valuation easier.
The traditional process can be time consuming and costly, with significant manual work required to gather financial information, identify comparable companies and apply the relevant valuation methodology.
Mltpl was built to make that process more efficient without losing the rigour behind it.
Our story
Tom Rodwell is a Chartered Accountant and a recognised business valuation and damages expert.
Through his valuation work, he saw first hand how much of the traditional process depended on repetitive manual tasks: extracting financial information, rebuilding accounts, searching for comparable businesses and gathering market evidence.
In 2020, while studying towards a PhD in Mathematics, Tom began exploring whether machine learning could be applied to traditional valuation techniques. That idea became the first version of Mltpl.
Since then, the product has evolved significantly. Today, Mltpl combines established valuation methodology with financial data, market data, automation and machine learning to help users arrive at a considered view of private company value.
Technology changed the process. It did not replace the valuation principles underneath it.

What we believe
Four things we have not changed our mind about.
The workings should be visible.
A valuation is more useful when you can see how it was reached.
Good technology should remove manual work, not professional judgement.
Automate the repetitive parts and leave people in control of the decisions that matter.
Methodology matters.
Mltpl uses established valuation approaches and observable market evidence rather than treating valuation as a black box.
Reproducibility matters.
The same inputs should produce the same output.
Valuation technology, grounded in valuation.
