About the Network
The Strategic Valuation Network (SVN) is a student-led platform dedicated to business valuation and the exchange of ideas among students.
Founded by students from the University of Mannheim and other German universities, SVN brings together motivated students who want to understand, compare and apply different valuation methods.
Members discuss assumptions and company-specific questions, develop a shared Excel-based valuation model and conduct their own valuations of selected companies.
