Data Quality

Data: Low

Census was acquired by Fivetran in May 2025 for an undisclosed price.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (15%)+67%

Fivetran's integration drives strong synergies, combined entity multiples expand to 15x ARR, and an IPO within 2 years provides liquidity. Exit value ~$1.1B.

Base (45%)-4%

Multiple converges to 8x ARR, revenue grows to $75M, exit value ~$600M. Minimal value creation due to stale entry valuation.

Bear (40%)-65%

Integration challenges, increased competition from cloud giants compress multiple to 4x ARR. Exit value ~$300M, preference stack consumes 27% of proceeds, common stock severely diluted.

Est. time to liquidity~1.5 years
Adjusted for competitive dynamics: -24% (raw: -18%, adjustment: -6%)

Preference Stack Risk

moderate

Funding Intensity

1270%

Total funding $80.3M represents 12.7% of stale $630M valuation; actual preference risk depends on Fivetran's capital structure.

Dilution Risk

high

No recent funding round data; likely dilution from option pools and potential Fivetran equity grants.

Secondary Liquidity

limited

No secondary market data for Census; Fivetran is private, limited liquidity.
