Base is building the foundation of American power. The grid is the largest, most complex machine in the world. But it’s aging, struggling to keep up with today’s demand, and is unprepared for our electrified future. Base is modernizing the grid as the first engineering-led, technology-driven power company. We’re deploying a nationwide network of distributed batteries that strengthens critical infrastructure and saves Americans money.

Data Quality

Data: Medium

The expected common stock return over 2 years is -12.6%, weighed down by a severe preference stack and a very high entry valuation multiple (56.5x).

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (30%)+61%

With category leadership in VPP and a favorable IPO window, Base Power could exit at a premium 25x forward revenue multiple, yielding $6.2B enterprise value and ~61% common return after preference and dilution.

Base (55%)-31%

Revenue grows to $248M but multiple compresses to 15x, in line with public comps, yielding $3.7B enterprise value and -10.5% common return before preference and dilution, netting -30.5%.

Bear (15%)-95%

Under aggressive competition from incumbents and capital intensity, multiple falls to 8x, exit value $1.98B barely above liquidation preference, common stock returns -74.7% before dilution, netting -94.7%.

severe

Funding Intensity

3250%

Total funding of $1.3B is 32.5% of current valuation, creating a large liquidation preference that severely dilutes common equity in exit scenarios below ~$4B.

Dilution Risk

moderate

Given $1B raised in Series C (Oct 2025) and high capital intensity, another raise is likely within 2-3 years, potentially increasing shares outstanding by 15-25%.

Secondary Liquidity
