Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (10%)+380%

Aggressive growth to $9.6M ARR and an IPO window could drive exit multiple to 8x, yielding over 400% upside before dilution; net 380% after 20% dilution.

Base (45%)+264%

Moderate growth to $9.6M ARR and exit multiple converging to 6x yields 284% pre-dilution upside; net 264% after 20% dilution.

Bear (45%)-100%

Stalled growth and multiple compression lead to exit below $46.1M preference stack, wiping out common equity entirely (-100% return).

high

With only one round (Series A) in April 2025 and $46M raised, a down round or further dilution is likely within 2 years.
