Researchers have developed a novel framework using ensemble tree-based supervised similarity learning to identify comparable companies in private markets. This approach leverages a CatBoost model trained on private company valuations to create a similarity metric that accounts for shared valuation drivers, nonlinear relationships, and missing data. The method was tested on a large dataset of private companies and demonstrated improved performance in downstream valuation tasks compared to traditional distance-based and text-embedding methods. AI
IMPACT This new valuation framework could improve accuracy and efficiency in private market analysis and investment decisions.
