Last updated: July 19, 2026
Market adopts social impact e-commerce, Beam's platform gains traction with major retailers. Revenue grows at 15% CAGR, exit multiple at 8x yields $55M exit, but dilution and preference erode returns.
Gradual growth with modest customer wins. Revenue $6.9M, exit multiple 5x = $34.4M, common stock recovers after preference but still negative after dilution.
Incumbent threat or market slowdown causes multiple compression to 2x. Exit value $13.8M below total funding, common stockholders receive nothing.
Preference Stack Risk
highFunding Intensity
31%Total funding of $15.4M represents 30.8% of estimated entry valuation, giving preferred stockholders a liquidation preference that severely dilutes common stock in any exit below $50M.
Dilution Risk
highCompany likely needs to raise capital within 2 years due to thin revenue and no path to profitability; a down round would further dilute common stockholders.
Secondary Liquidity
noneNo secondary market trades reported; any equity liquidity is tied to a future exit event.
