https://youtu.be/L1wE2Koy7eQ Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista, is passionate about helping businesses value what’s hard to value by making private company valuations more accurate, transparent, and actionable. Through a product-first mindset and relentless innovation, Tomas has built Eqvista into a leading equity management and private market valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, helping founders, investors, and employees make better decisions with real-time company valuations. We explore Tomas Milar’s PrivateCo Valuation Framework: Industry Data, Private Data, Public Comparables, Client Data, and Audit Defensibility. Tomas explains why accurate private company valuations require combining multiple data sources instead of relying on static reports, how proprietary datasets and public market benchmarks improve pricing precision, and why audit-defensible valuations build confidence for fundraising, compliance, and M&A transactions. He also shares how a product-first approach has fueled Eqvista’s growth while advancing real-time valuations and expanding shareholder liquidity through controlled tender offers. — Value What’s Hard to Value with Tom Milar  Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Tomas Milar, the founder and CEO of Eqvista, a leading equity management and private market valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies. Tom, welcome to the show.  Steve, thank you so much for having me. Thank you.  Well, you’ve got a very interesting background and business. We talked before the show that both of us are from Europe, studied in different countries, and come from a financial background. So it’s very interesting. Out of the 350-plus guests I’ve had, I’ve never had someone with such a similar background.  Interesting. Thank you. Yes. I took every opportunity to study anywhere. One semester I studied at three different universities at the same time. So yes, I was taking exams left and right at different universities. It would be April in Finland, May in Turkey, and later June back in the Czech Republic.  That’s great.  In one week, I would really make that whole circle. Crazy times.  I heard about professors teaching at multiple universities, but students attending multiple universities… Maybe two at the same time in the same country.  But I had three.  Three in different countries? That’s completely crazy. I guess if you wanted to fast-track your career, get to Silicon Valley young, start a company, and already reach a modicum of success, you had to do that, right?  You know what? Or you drop out of school and do zero schools. That’s also an option. Now let’s be serious for a bit. For me, it wasn’t really about the education. For me, it was whether I could make it. So it was more of a challenge than an academic achievement. Yeah, it was a fun time back then. I would have a Tuesday exam in Turkey, then fly north. I would have to change clothes in Prague because in Finland I was only about 50 miles from the Polar Circle. It would still be winter there, so I’d pack winter clothes and then take an exam in Oulu, which is almost at the Polar Circle. Yeah. So from Istanbul to the Polar Circle. It was a fun time back then.  I saw it on your LinkedIn page—North Ostrobothnia—and I couldn’t imagine where that place was. So I actually Googled it, and the pictures were all ski slopes. I figured it had to be a cold place.  It was very cold. Yes. A lot of saunas.  Yeah, that’s lovely. Let’s get into the topics. One question I always ask my guests is: What is your personal why, and how are you manifesting it in your business?  You know, I learned the hard way that you never ask “why.” At least for me, after living in China. Things just happen. They just happen. Some people don’t really know certain things are possible until they make them possible. So from impossibility to possibility. It’s always interesting to see things happen without a rational reason. I don’t think it’s really about a why. I think it’s really about being naïve when you do things, just doing them, and figuring things out along the way.  Yeah. Well, I agree with you about naïveté. I believe it’s a great entrepreneurial trait because it allows you not to kill good ideas..  Yes, yes. …before they have a chance to develop. And Steve, the more you know about certain things, the less likely you are to start a business in that particular industry, right? Doctors never start hospitals. Bankers never start banks or neobanks because they understand how difficult it is. So that naïveté—to be foolish and hungry—it really works. Yeah. Actually, that’s what works for me. Again, I never thought about business ideas in terms of why I should be doing them. Let me ask you this instead.  What energizes you about running Eqvista?  I think it comes in different phases. Right now, we’re going to launch a controlled tender offer. For those who don’t know what that is, when you issue stock to employees or investors, you can get it back. We don’t really like the term “buy it back,” but that’s essentially what happens. Once you issue options or stock, you can actually buy it back and redistribute those same shares to different investors or shareholders. That’s our new product. We have a very big challenge in front of us, and it’s how to price stock.  We perform valuations on over $8 billion of client assets every month. We’re one of the largest equity valuation platforms on the market. That’s actually what energizes me. Not really the number, but how hard it is to become number one and what drives innovation. Because if you want to be number one at anything, you need to innovate. What we've actually fixed is the report. When you issue stock, you need to have a stock price.Share on X  That stock price reflects the market, how the company is doing, and the different funding rounds. Usually, you find that stock price in a report. It’s a PDF—40 to 60 pages. By the time you receive the report, the valuation is already outdated. One month. Two months. Three, four, five, even six months. In 2026, startups move so fast that in six months some companies grow exponentially. Yeah.  I saw your LinkedIn post about SpaceX. There was an April 2026 valuation of $1.6 trillion. Then you posted again four days ago, showing it was over $2.6 trillion. That’s more than a 40% increase in just two months for one of the most valuable companies in the world. Yeah. How does that happen?  Particularly for SpaceX, there are multiple factors. There’s definitely hype, no doubt about it, because 95 times revenue—that’s ridiculous, right? For a publicly traded company, we usually see six or seven times revenue. That’s probably the best multiple. But 95 times revenue—that’s unheard of. How does that happen? There are multiple reasons, right? One of them is innovation. Another is that SpaceX is the only company actually launching spacecraft into orbit.  And yeah, obviously, there’s the Elon Musk factor. If you look at the space economy, whatever we’re doing on Earth, we’ll be doing the same things in space, right? So looking at SpaceX as a bridge between the dream of space and practically mirroring what we do here on Earth, I think that’s a great analogy.  For us, it's a really nice demonstration of how any company going public should have a real-time valuation.Share on X It doesn’t have to be publicly available. You can choose. Again, think about how Merrill Lynch—I think it was Merrill Lynch and Bank of America—helped with the roadshow and all the due diligence and documents. I can’t even understand how they modeled the valuation one time. They probably had to do that every three days.  But if they had a real-time valuation, they could clearly understand what was happening in the market. So, going back to your original question about what excites me, this is exciting because we built the largest valuation model on the market. Currently, without SpaceX—because SpaceX would take up half of the benchmark—we constantly value over $4 trillion in assets.  Okay. So let’s talk about this because, in my time at my investment banking firm, we had a valuation practice, and we offered six different types of valuations. But really, we just wanted to have an enchilada process where we would have EVA valuations, multiples, private and public comparables, DCF, and all that stuff. But I’m really wondering because, when you’re valuing small private companies, you’ve got all these liquidity discounts, marketability discounts, ownership discounts, all these discounts.  So it kind of boggles my mind how you guys can value all these startups, which may not even have revenue and may be very early-stage. Because this podcast is about frameworks, I’d like you to share with us—with me and the listeners—a framework that simplifies this whole valuation. What are the major elements? If you had to constrain yourself to five major elements of your valuation, what would they be?  Yeah, I can definitely help with that. Obviously, the first one is the industry, right? The industry. We have our models and datasets that we’ve acquired over the years. We have valued $400 billion in client assets manually. Okay. Manually. Even before AI, we were using AI, right? So we really tested the models. We really worked on what works and what doesn’t. That’s one element. It’s the dataset.  Obviously, public comparables. We have incredible models for choosing and picking the right companies, right? There are 4,000 publicly traded companies on the market. That’s a very important dataset. Then we have data taken directly from clients. That’s also very important. The data actually reflects the reality of the company. Obviously, you can estimate, but all these estimates…  There are platforms out there that give you a range. There’s actually a company now that tried to copy us, but they came up with such an unfortunate solution. They have a range. And Steve, who knows the range? Let’s say you have a $100 million company valuation. They came up with a valuation range of $30 million to $100 million. Two hundred?  Okay, great.  Thirty to one hundred. Thirty to one hundred. Okay. I’m like, “That’s not even a range.” It’s ridiculous. So, again, you can try to copy it, but it’s not going to work. You have to have analysts. We have an in-house team of close to 20 valuation analysts with double master’s degrees, CBAs, CFA Level III, and NACVA certifications.  So we can also issue certified reports. We can support all the defensibility. So, in case any company is undergoing M&A, we can help with additional questions from the Big Four, McKinsey, or PricewaterhouseCoopers when they challenge the valuation. We can defend the stock price. It doesn’t really happen when we issue the stock, but it happens down the road.  Yeah. That’s fantastic. So let me ask you this. What drives growth at Eqvista?  What drives growth at Eqvista? The product. It’s really as simple as that. The product and our company economics. We don't really waste time and energy on things that don't work. We focus heavily on what really works and only on what works.Share on X We haven’t raised much money, right? We bootstrapped the company. We raised half a million dollars. I always gave up on fundraising because I’m a product founder.  I don’t really do many roadshows or meetings. I actually hate meetings. I stay with my team. I’m product-centric, super focused on the product, and I think that’s one of the reasons we’re successful. I’ve always been fortunate to build amazing products and hire very talented people who can understand what we’ve built and sell it. So it’s the product. I’ve always believed in pull marketing rather than push marketing.  Obviously, outbound outreach is also extremely important. But pull marketing is where you start, especially in the early stage when you want to grow to, let’s say, half a million, one million, or two million dollars in revenue. Because direct sales are extremely hard.  So what’s one thing that you’re actively trying to figure out in your business?  It’s the price. It’s the stock price. How to effectively value companies. That’s what excites me, and that’s what we try to figure out on a practically daily basis. We have a team of specialists focusing on stock pricing and stock price discovery. Adoption is going to be extremely important. How successful we’ll be in distributing the stock price to different segments of the market.  I’m trying to understand this. You already have 25,000-plus companies whose valuations you manage. You’re able to defend these valuations in court or in M&A situations. So what do you mean exactly by trying to figure out how to effectively value companies? I mean, it sounds like you’ve figured it out. So to what degree have you not figured it out?  We have it, right? But for us, it’s about efficiency. Efficiency and how precisely we can price the stock. That’s probably the big question, even for the public market. Some companies are underpriced. How is it possible that a company with a strong balance sheet has a lower value than the cash in its accounts? These are the types of things.  It’s definitely a different approach to value a company with a couple hundred thousand dollars in revenue versus a company with $300 million in revenue and a $22 billion post-money valuation. These are crazy formulas and approaches. We’re still working on the precision because, at that scale, companies are extremely sensitive to any type of deviation. Even one percent can mean hundreds of millions of dollars.  So that’s very important. Actually, it’s also very important for startups to realize that, at the lower level, they might be undervalued by a few hundred thousand dollars or a few million dollars. That’s also something founders, CEOs, and CFOs should really be considering. That’s why real-time valuation is extremely important for all of us. We’re just trying to teach the market about real-time valuation.  Yeah. I can imagine. Even listed companies that have public data can move dramatically based on market sentiment. Something happens in Iran, and the stock can drop ten percent in a day. What could happen in a private company when you don’t have real-time data available?  Yes.  It’s going to be a really thorny issue.  It is.  So if you had a magic wand, Tom, and you could fix one thing in your company in the next twelve months, what would that be?  Adoption. Real-time valuation adoption. How we teach the market about real-time valuation. That would be the thing I would love to fix.Share on X We actually have a few ideas about how to do it. We’re becoming our own client. We’re becoming our own client, so we’re actually launching a controlled tender offer—a secondary marketplace, practically. Down the road, we could apply for an ATS, an Alternative Trading System. But that’s eight, nine, or ten months from now. At least that’s our vision, and that’s where we’d like to be headed.  So you’re going to do something like a relisting or a reverse IPO?  Not really a reverse IPO. No. Just to help shareholders liquidate their stock. It’ll practically be a platform where employees or investors can liquidate their stock. That’s something we’d like to focus on. We issue stock, manage it, reprice it, and we’d also like to help provide liquidity.  Wow. These are very exciting challenges.  Yes.  A lot of people have tried to overcome this, so if you do, you’ll definitely be pioneers in this area. Perhaps AI can help with that.  Perfect. Yeah. I have a list of people I know, how to use them, and when. So you’re always welcome.  All right. If people would like to learn more or contact you, where can they find you? Or where can they find Eqvista? How can they connect with you and learn more?  Yeah. I can definitely help with multiple subjects: company formation, bootstrapping a company, any product-related questions, and, obviously, equity management, stock pricing, valuation discovery, efficiency, and, most importantly, anything about Eqvista. You can find us at eqvista.com. E-Q-V-I-S-T-A dot com. The same goes for email. It’s tom@eqvista.com.  Okay, awesome. You can check Tom out on LinkedIn as well. That’s Tomas Milar. I think you’re listed with your longer first name. He posts regularly—very exciting articles, especially the recent one I saw on SpaceX and how the valuation shot up like a rocket. Definitely check it out.  If you enjoyed this conversation, make sure you subscribe, follow us on YouTube, give us a review on Apple Podcasts, and stay tuned because once or twice a week we bring you exciting entrepreneurs like Tom, who share their frameworks with you.

Oulu liegt im Nordwesten Finnlands an der Ostseeküste. Dieses Jahr darf sich die Stadt mit dem Titel „Europäische Kulturhauptstadt 2026“ schmücken. Oulu ist mit gut 200.000 Einwohnern die nördlichste Großstadt der Europäischen Union und fünfgrößte Stadt Finnlands.In Oulu lebt der Underground. Der „Schreiende Männerchor“ und die Weltmeisterschaft im Luftgitarre-Spielen kommen aus Oulu. Und an einer Wand prangt seit den 1980er-Jahren ein Graffiti-Schriftzug „Paska Kaupunni“, was „Scheiß Stadt“ heißt. Doch die Ouluer tragen diesen Titel mit einem gewissen Stolz.Oulu ist ein Paradies für Radfahrer. Fast 1.000 Kilometer umfasst das eigene Radwege-Netz, fast immer fernab vom Autoverkehr, kreuzungsarm dank Unterführungen und mit eigenen Schnellradwegen - so kommt man fix von A nach B. Ein Navi braucht man auch nicht, da die Radwege gut beschildert sind. Radfahren ist die DNA von Oulu.Das Stadtzentrum mit dem Marktplatz und dem Marktpolizisten „Tori Polliisi“ ist kompakt, dafür ist die Natur nie weit. Fast im Zentrum liegt der Strand Tuira am Oulu-Fluss. Hier kann man schwimmen, chillen und Volleyball spielen. Außerdem schwimmt im Fluss eine kleine Sauna: Kesä-Sauna (wörtlich: Sommersauna), ein beliebtes Freizeitvergnügen bei jedem Wetter.Oulu 2026: Europäische Kulturhauptstadt mit Sauna und Sámi https://www1.wdr.de/radio/wdr5/sendungen/neugier-genuegt/feature-oulu-kulturhauptstadt-2026-100.html

Frischer Wind für Gothaer Antiquariat. Nicht nur kleine Verlage haben dieses Problem, auch kleine Buchläden: Wer führt sie weiter, wenn die Aufbau-Generation in Rente geht? Oft gibt es niemanden, der Lust hat für sechs Tage die Woche – für wenig Geld – Bücher zu verkaufen. Und doch sind es gerade kleine Läden, in denen am liebsten gestöbert wird. Auch bei Andreas Zink in der Bücherstube "Hannah Höch" in Gotha. Dort fand sich in allerletzter Minute jemand, der den Laden übernommen hat.

Die Ukrainerin Anhelina Olijnyk, 25 Jahre alt, hat einen der wichtigsten Menschen in ihrem Leben verloren. Ihr Cousin Maxym, der sich freiwillig zur Armee gemeldet hatte, ist im Donezbecken gefallen. Ihre Trauer hat Anhelina literarisch in kurzen Texten verarbeitet. Sie meint: So könnten auch andere Trauernde besser mit ihrem Schmerz umgehen. Nun hat sie ein Buch mit ihren Texten veröffentlicht, im Eigenverlag, und es bei mehreren Lesungen präsentiert. Sie blickt jetzt wieder positiver in die Zukunft.Peter Sloterdijk: Der Fürst und seine Erben. Der Autor sieht sich selbst als "philosophierenden Schriftsteller". Trockene Akademiker-Prosa ist nicht sein Ding. Er liebt es, in freien Assoziationsketten zu denken und zu schreiben. Da mag es überraschen, dass sein neues Buch "Der Fürst und seine Erben. Über große Männer im Zeitalter der gewöhnlichen Leute" eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem nüchternen, kühlen Klassiker Niccolò Machiavelli verspricht. Holger Heimann hat den Essay gelesen.Sebastian Haffner: Der Teufelspakt. Eine "Geschichte der deutsch-russischen Beziehungen" – das ist ein Titel, der einige Menschen triggern könnte, in jegliche Richtungen. Verfasst hat das Buch Sebastian Haffner. Nun mag man denken: Der lebte 1907 bis 1999, der Journalist und Historiker, was mag er uns über Russland und Deutschland Erhellendes erzählen, es ist ja so viel passiert inzwischen? Eine Frage an unseren Kritiker Matthias Schmidt.Maike Luhmann: Einsamkeit. Warum sie uns alle betrifft. Einsamkeit, nicht zu verwechseln mit Alleinsein, ist ein gesellschaftliches und individuelles Problem, das sich auch politisch auswirkt. In Deutschland gibt es das Kompetenznetz Einsamkeit der Bundesregierung, in Großbritannien gar ein Einsamkeitsministerium. Mehr dazu steht im Buch der Professorin Maike Luhmann, die dazu im Gespräch ist.

Learn Finnish by listening to the Finking Cap Podcast!Finland is said to be the happiest country in the world, however, we have people here who don't have enough money to cover the basics like food. I wanted to make an episode about how food banks in Oulu work. In this episode of the Finking Cap, I interview Katja Suhonen, the food aid expert and director of the "hub" where food donations are sorted and distributed to different locations. This hub is called Prikkakeskus, and their operating model has proven to be so successful that the city of Oulu has made it a permanent service, starting from 2026.After the interview, I point out a few Finnish words from our conversation and I explain them to you, in Finnish, of course.I have made the PDF transcript available for members of the Finking Cap Club: https://finkingcapclub.com/.The Finking Cap Club has lots of Finnish listening content, grammar courses and exercises, so if you're thinking of spending your summer learning Finnish independently, check it out.

In this episode of the Living in San Diego Podcast, Chris and Cass sit down with Jason Farnan, better known as Lieutenant Facemelter, the 2013 U.S. National Air Guitar Champion.Jason gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the wild world of competitive air guitar, from local San Diego competitions to the U.S. Nationals and the Air Guitar World Championships in Oulu, Finland. We talk about how routines are judged, what “airness” actually means, the costumes, the stage personas, and why this fringe art form is a lot more serious than people might think.We also get into Jason's story of moving from Rochester, New York to San Diego, how the documentary Air Guitar Nation pulled him into the scene, and what it has been like performing as Lieutenant Facemelter for more than a decade.Plus, Jason shares another side of his career as a professional graphic and UX designer, including the story behind creating a trumpet-themed logo for New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz that ended up being sold as official merchandise at Citi Field.And if you're in San Diego, there's an upcoming San Diego Air Guitar competition happening Saturday, May 30th at 7:00 PM at Booze Brothers Brewing Company in Vista. It's free, all-ages, and open to new competitors.LINKS: Event (FREE): https://www.instagram.com/p/DWvGvW3lCNh/ Lt.

If there has ever been a weirded contrast of topics, well, here you go. Talk about the new and improved ways of ordering your Kutte with Pandaemon of TJ Satanika and add a drunk conversation about a stranger (“Which Jugend stuff”) who repeatedly shat in a public pool in Oulu, Finland and made TJ Oulu come up with an incredible MVP, a “Most Valuable Patch”. Certainly not the first (and last) DUMP focused patch. Let´s keep´em dumping!

Kate Adie presents stories from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Latvia, South Korea and FinlandThe US-Israeli war with Iran saw a marked escalation this week with strikes on some of the world's biggest gas fields. Israel's attack on Iran's south Pars gas field triggered a swift response from Tehran, who launched strikes on the Ras Laffan terminal – the world's largest liquefied natural gas facility, and other gulf countries. The attacks caused oil and gas prices to spike. Frank Gardner has been in Riyadh and Doha.In Venezuela, billboards and banners of former President, Nicolas Maduro still line the roads of Caracas after he was seized in January by US forces. Washington has outlined a plan for Venezuela and eased sanctions but hasn't provided a timeframe for elections. And many young Venezuelans are sceptical that much will change, says Ione Wells.Next week the BBC's Russian Service marks its 80th anniversary. The service's editor Jenny Norton reflects on how the team have found ways to adapt after the clampdown on media freedoms and the invasion of Ukraine, and setting up a new base in Latvia.In South Korea, a new genre of movies is taking the entertainment world by storm: the “micro-drama.” They're carefully curated one- or two-minute-long shows with intense plotlines, made to be watched on your phone. Jake Kwon in Seoul went behind the scenes.The BBC's climate editor, Justin Rowlatt, isn't just interested in our warming world, he's also a keen cold-water swimmer. And he recently found himself competing in the Winter Swimming World Championships in Oulu, a town in northern Finland, about 100 miles south of the Arctic circle.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinators: Katie Morrison and Sophie Hill Editor: Richard Vadon

Viaggio nella città finlandese di Oulu, affacciata sul mar Baltico vicino al Circolo Polare Artico, che si prepara a vivere un anno eccezionale come capitale europea della cultura 2026 coniugando tradizione locale, creatività contemporanea, partecipazione pubblica e innovazione tecnologica.Un tempo nota come “la Silicon Valley del Nord” - perché negli anni ‘80 la Nokia vi installò il suo quartier generale trasformandola in un polo tecnologico di livello mondiale – una ventina d'anni fa la città ha vissuto una crisi industriale gravissima, ritrovandosi improvvisamente con migliaia di disoccupati e un'economia locale da reinventare. Ma proprio da quella frattura è nato un percorso di trasformazione virtuoso, con il passaggio da una monocultura industriale a un ecosistema più aperto, fatto di startup, creatività, tecnologia, cultura digitale e partecipazione civica. Il titolo di capitale europea della cultura 2026 rappresenta un riconoscimento simbolico e concreto: Oulu racconta come una città colpita dal declino di un colosso tecnologico abbia saputo ripensare la propria identità, trasformando una crisi industriale in un progetto di futuro. L'ampio programma di iniziative di quest'anno si propone, tra le altre cose, di valorizzare le tradizioni e la cultura dei sámi, il popolo indigeno che abita le regioni artiche.

Looking for a smarter way to travel and a richer way to live when you get back? We're launching Season Eight with A for Airbnb, sharing how a long road trip through Finland and Norway transformed from a checklist of sights into a string of homes. From a lakeside house with a wood-fired sauna in Puolanka to an RV in the Inari village, from the Arctic Circle at Rovaniemi to Norway's brooding fjords, we used Airbnbs to slow down, meet neighbors, and absorb the quiet routines that define Nordic life.Along the way we chased the northern lights near Levi, learned why Finnish apartments feel so peaceful, and discovered how to spot the small details that make a stay effortless: strong Wi‑Fi, laundry days, clear entry instructions, local tips, and respectful house norms. Historic Kittilä surprised us with an artist-host who kept stories alive along with salvaged wood and open-hearth cooking. Oulu and Turku balanced old-town charm with modern coffee culture and kid-friendly spaces. The big takeaway wasn't a single perfect property; it was how the right stay turns a map into a neighborhood and a night into a lesson you can use at home.We also flip the script and talk about hosting. Back in Waco, our 1916 fixer-upper doubles as an Airbnb where guest nights help fund restoration. We share our playbook for five-star experiences on both sides: how to filter and book smarter, how to be a great guest who communicates and respects the space, and how hosts can elevate comfort with small, thoughtful touches like printed Wi‑Fi, bedside charging, clear guides, and a warm welcome.

Currently, she's investigating how to transform agricultural research to support local communities, including turning research stations into hubs for collaboration between farmers and scientists. Her projects aim to align scientific inquiry with local needs, promoting community-driven innovation and sustainable land use. In this episode, John and Anna discuss: How farmers see soil as a resource to manage, while scientists seek broad, universal insights. How academic and agri-business structures favor research on general trends over practical, local farming solutions. The community's role in regenerative agriculture, enabling farmers to learn and innovate together. Research stations as potential community hubs integrating local farmers needs into science. Regenerative agriculture's ability to restore hope and reconnect farmers with nature. Celebrating mistakes as essential for learning and growth in farming.
