Data Quality

Data: Low

Given the high uncertainty due to missing financial data and competitive threats, the equity upside is modest at ~27% expected return over 2 years.

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Bull (10%)+108%

Assuming 10x exit multiple (expansion due to category leadership and IPO window opening), projected revenue of $7.8M yields market cap $78M, net of 20% dilution gives 108% upside.

Base (50%)+46%

7x exit multiple converging to comp range, revenue $7.8M yields $55M, net dilution gives 46% upside.

Bear (40%)-17%

4x exit multiple compressing below comp range due to competitive pressure, revenue $7.8M yields $31M, net dilution gives -17%.

severe

Funding Intensity

322%

Total funding of $10M represents 33% of estimated $30M valuation, indicating significant preference overhang.

Dilution Risk

high

With $10M raised in Jan 2012 and no revenue growth data, a subsequent round is likely within 2 years, potentially diluting common equity 20%.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market activity; liquidity only through M&A or IPO.
