Data Quality
Data: LowAurelian is a genuine but highly illiquid early-stage bet: with $2.1M in revenue, 29 employees, and a valuation that was not disclosed (estimated ~$65M post-Series A), a 2x equity outcome requires the company to reach roughly $130M in valuation — demanding strong ARR growth in one of the slowest-moving procurement markets in tech.

AI for public safety achieves broad PSAP adoption, driving revenue to $10M+ ARR by 2028 with NEA supporting a Series B/C at $200–250M valuation. Deep 911 system integrations and regulatory moat create durable competitive position, delivering ~250% paper gains on an estimated $65M post-money baseline.
Government procurement cycles constrain growth to $4–6M ARR by 2028, with a Series B in the $120–130M range representing roughly 2x the estimated $65M Series A post-money. Traction with PSAPs is real but secondary liquidity remains nonexistent within the 2-year horizon.
Slow municipal budget cycles, extended sales timelines, or intensified competition stall revenue below $3M ARR, forcing a flat or down round that devastates common stock value. The $17M preference stack leaves common holders near zero in any distressed or low-multiple outcome.
Preference Stack Risk
highFunding Intensity
26%$17M in total liquidation preferences sit ahead of common stock; at an estimated ~$65M Series A post-money valuation, this stack represents ~26% of current enterprise value — firmly in the high-risk band.
Dilution Risk
highAs a Series A company likely requiring 2–3 additional funding rounds before any liquidity event, employees should model 35–55% cumulative dilution before an exit.
Secondary Liquidity
noneNo secondary market activity is expected for a 29-person Series A GovTech startup; all equity is fully illiquid for the foreseeable future.

Questions to Ask at the Interview
Strategic questions based on Aurelian's data — designed to show you've done your homework.
- 1
“What is the average end-to-end sales cycle for a new PSAP contract, and what does net revenue retention look like across existing customers like Snohomish County 911 and Chattanooga?”
- 2
“How is revenue structured — per-PSAP subscription, per-call volume, or seat-based — and what is the typical ACV on a new county or city contract?”
- 3
“What was the post-money valuation on the Series A, what equity percentage would this role receive, and what ARR or customer milestones is the team targeting before pursuing a Series B?”
