Data: Low

Given the early stage with no revenue and high incumbent threat, the equity carries significant risk.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (20%)+30%

Exit multiple of 12x on $50M revenue yields $600M exit; after 20% dilution, net upside 30%. Driven by category leadership in AI accounting and favorable IPO window.

Base (50%)-20%

Exit multiple of 8x on $50M revenue yields $400M exit (breakeven to entry); after dilution, net downside -20%. Converges to public comp multiples but lacks breakout growth.

Bear (30%)-70%

Exit multiple of 4x on $50M revenue yields $200M exit; after dilution and preference stack (common below $75M), net downside -70%. Intuit/Sage pressure and slow adoption compress valuation.
