Data Quality
Data: LowExpect significant equity downside over 2 years: base case suggests -93.8% return after dilution, driven by a stale 24x multiple on $45M revenue versus public comps at 3-6x.
Last updated: July 21, 2026
IPO window reopens or Caribou achieves category leadership, supporting a forward revenue multiple of 8x. Projected revenue of $72M yields exit value $576M, but after 20pp dilution the common stock return is -67.6% from entry.
Multiple converges to public comps at 4x revenue, giving exit value $288M. After 20pp dilution, common stock loses 93.8% of its entry value.
Multiple compresses to 2x revenue, exit value $144M below $190M total funding, so common stock receives nothing. Return is -100%.
