Investopedia explains 'Realization Multiple'

This method of valuing a project is often used by venture capitalists, and provides a return which can be compared across investment projects. The time value of money is ignored under this approach, which differentiates the realization multiple from other valuation methods, such as internal rate of return or net present value.
