BrightBytes was acquired by Google in 2022, so the candidate's equity is effectively Google RSUs, not private company stock.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (25%)+34%

Google acquisition accelerates growth; revenue grows 15% CAGR to $13.4M by month 24; exit multiple holds at 12x, yielding 33.6% upside from $120M entry.

Base (50%)-50%

Revenue stagnates at $10.1M as integration takes time; multiple compresses to 6x, implying a -49.5% downside from entry valuation.

Bear (25%)-75%

Revenue declines or integration fails; multiple collapses to 3x, resulting in -74.8% downside; preference stack of $51.5M significantly impairs common equity.
