Data Quality

Last updated: July 3, 2026
Bull case: Exit at 10x revenue ($27.1M) via IPO window or category leadership. After preference ($9M) and 20% dilution, common equity yields 163% upside from $5.5M entry.
Base case: Exit at 6x revenue ($16.26M) converging to public comps. After preference and dilution, common equity returns 5.6%.
Bear case: Exit at 3x revenue ($8.13M) below $9M preference. Common equity recovers nothing, resulting in -100% return.
