Bull (20%)+144%

Base (35%)+19%

Bear (45%)-43%

severe

Funding Intensity

48%

Total preferred funding of $435M is 48% of the $907M entry valuation, meaning common equity is heavily subordinated.

Dilution Risk

high

Given 2021 round and no recent funding, a new raise within 24 months is likely, diluting current equity by ~20%.

Secondary Liquidity

limited

Secondary market exists with $907M implied valuation, but liquidity is likely thin for employee shares.
