Data Quality

Data: Low

Joining Brainbase carries significant risk due to its acquisition by Jonas Software in 2022, a massive preference stack ($12M funding vs $1.8M valuation), and lack of growth data.

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Bull (10%)+20%

Parent company Jonas Software sees growth, driving subsidiary value; revenue reaches $0.8M, multiple expands to 5x, exit value ~$4M, but preference overhang limits common upside to 20%.

Base (40%)0%

Business continues at current scale within Jonas; no independent exit; equity value flat in subsidiary context.

Bear (50%)-100%

Acquisition price was below $12M total funding; common stock worthless; preference stack wipes out equity.

Preference Stack Risk

severe

Funding Intensity

0%

Total funding of $12M against a $1.8M valuation means common stock is deeply underwater; any exit below $12M returns nothing to common.

Dilution Risk

low

As a subsidiary of Jonas Software, further fundraising is unlikely; dilution from new rounds is minimal.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market exists for Brainbase equity; liquidity depends on a future sale or IPO of Jonas Software.
