Preference Stack Risk

severe

Funding Intensity

46%

Total funding of $160M equals 45.7% of entry valuation, creating a large preference overhang that absorbs most exit value before common stock participates.

Dilution Risk

low

With $160M in funding and a Series C completed 12 months ago, the company likely has sufficient runway (>3 years) and is unlikely to raise additional dilutive capital within 24 months.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market trades or implied valuation data is available, indicating limited liquidity options for employees to sell shares pre-exit.
