Flow Partners advises Elevator Fund on the valuation of Selina

Providing confidential valuation of Selina, a travel and lifestyle hospitality platform for digital nomads.

Tel Aviv, Israel / Panama City, Panamá — 27 January 2021

Flow Partners acted as a financial advisor to a leading Israeli early-stage venture capital investor Elevator Fund on a portfolio valuation and strategic review of Selina, a fast-growing hospitality brand built for today’s nomadic traveler to help them live, work, and explore anywhere in the world.

Overview

Elevator Fund required an actionable valuation advice for Selina in order to accurately balance and keep pulse on their venture portfolio.

We have provided an independent valuation opinion that included valuation insights on current travel and travel tech market, comparable environment analysis, company growth profile assessment vs. market, portfolio impact, operational benchmarking, green/red flag analysis and more.

This project highlights Flow Partners' experience supporting Latin American category leaders, having also advised GoTrendier, the largest second hand fashion marketplace in Mexico and Colombia. With Selina we also double down on travel and mobility space, having advised companies like HAPPPYCAR (car rental price comparison) or MILES (ride sharing platform).
