Data Quality

Data: Low

Given the lack of reliable valuation data, stale financing round, and significant preference overhang, the equity upside for a candidate is highly uncertain and likely negative over 2 years.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (20%)+20%

If Ava achieves accelerated adoption driven by ADA compliance mandates and corporate enterprise deals, revenue grows to $6.2M and exit multiple holds at 9x, yielding a 19.7% return after 20% dilution.

Base (50%)-11%

Revenue grows modestly to $6.2M with multiple compressing to 7x, but dilution from a likely raise reduces upside further, resulting in an -11.3% return.

Bear (30%)-58%

Revenue stalls or declines, exit multiple falls to 4x, and with severe preference overhang, common stock returns -57.9% after dilution.
