AirOps offers exceptional equity upside if hypergrowth continues, with a probability-weighted expected 2-year return of ~176%.

Last updated: August 3, 2026

Bull (35%)+300%

If AirOps establishes category leadership in AI search and an IPO window opens, the forward revenue multiple expands to ~8x on $181M ARR, implying a ~$1.45B exit. Reported upside is capped at +300% per Series B stage guidance.

Base (45%)+203%

Revenue reaches ~$181M and the exit multiple converges to ~4x (within the peer range), giving a ~$726M exit and +222% raw upside. After 20 percentage points dilution, net upside is ~+202%.

Bear (20%)-100%

If incumbent AI platforms (OpenAI/Google) disintermediate the category and growth stalls, the multiple compresses to ~0.6x, producing an exit value of ~$109M — below the $118M preferred liquidation, so common stock is worthless.
