Data: High

Census, acquired by Fivetran in May 2025, offers a moderate upside opportunity for a job seeker receiving equity benchmarked against its last private valuation of $630M.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (32%)+50%

Fivetran's integration of Census proves highly synergistic, accelerating its market leadership in data activation and driving robust growth. The combined entity achieves strong market adoption, leading to a 50% increase in the value of the converted equity over two years, reaching an implied valuation of $945M for the Census component.

Base (50%)+10%

Census was acquired by Fivetran at an implied valuation slightly below its last private round, around $600M. However, Fivetran's strategic integration of Census's data activation capabilities drives steady growth for the combined entity. Over the next two years, the value of the converted equity increases by 10% from the initial $630M reference, reaching an implied valuation of approximately $693M for the Census component.

Bear (18%)-40%

Fivetran's acquisition of Census occurs at a discount to its last private valuation, around $500M, and subsequent integration challenges or a broader market downturn hinder Fivetran's performance. The value of the converted Census equity declines by 40% over two years, resulting in an implied valuation of $378M for the Census component, significantly below its last private valuation.
