Research Driven
Extensively studied. Rigorously tested. Continually evolving.
CBCV sits on a strong academic foundation, built in part by these pivotal research papers from Theta co-founders Peter Fader and Dan McCarthy: “Customer-Based Corporate Valuation for Publicly Traded Non-Contractual Firms” and “Valuing Subscription-Based Businesses Using Publicly Disclosed Customer Data”.
