Data Quality

Data: Medium

Ashby presents a moderate upside opportunity (19.2% expected) over 2 years, but with high risk from incumbent competition and preference stack.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (20%)+80%

Bull case assumes successful IPO window allowing multiple to hold at 16.4x forward revenue. Projected revenue of $106.2M yields exit value of $1.74B, but stage cap limits upside to 100% before 20% dilution, net 80% upside.

Base (35%)+53%

Base case assumes multiple converges to public comp average of 8x on $106.2M revenue, giving exit value of $849.6M. After 20% dilution, net upside 52.5%.

Bear (45%)-34%

Bear case sees multiple compression to 4x due to competitive pressure from incumbents, yielding $424.8M exit. After preference stack and 20% dilution, net downside -33.74%.
