Cal.com presents a risky equity opportunity with moderate upside potential.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (35%)+200%

Cal.com's open-source, infrastructure-first approach gains significant enterprise adoption, leveraging its SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 certifications to displace legacy solutions. ARR accelerates to $20M+ by 2028, justifying a $450M+ valuation at a 22x multiple, driven by strong developer community and high switching costs.

Base (25%)+50%

Cal.com continues to grow its user base and ARR, reaching $8M by 2028, primarily in the mid-market and developer segments. While differentiating from Calendly, it faces ongoing competition. An acquisition at a modest premium to its current implied valuation, around $225M, provides a moderate return for early equity holders.

Bear (40%)-80%

Dominant incumbents like Calendly or new entrants with superior funding aggressively expand into Cal.com's niche, commoditizing open-source scheduling. Revenue growth stalls below $5M ARR, leading to a down round or a distressed sale below $50M, significantly eroding common stock value given the $32.4M in liquidation preferences.

Est. time to liquidity~4.0 years

Preference Stack Risk

high

Investors hold approximately $32.4M in liquidation preferences, representing about 21.6% of the estimated $150M Series A post-money valuation.

Dilution Risk

high

As a Series A company, Cal.com will likely require at least one to two more significant funding rounds (Series B, C) before a major liquidity event, implying substantial future dilution for common shareholders.

Secondary Liquidity

limited

Cal.com stock is a private security traded on secondary marketplaces like Nasdaq Private Market, but only for accredited investors, indicating limited liquidity for employees.
