Data Quality

Data: Low

Chaos offers a compelling but risky equity opportunity due to its strong technology and government backing, offset by fierce competition from Anduril and lack of revenue data.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (10%)+80%

Bull: IPO within 2 years drives multiple expansion; valuation reaches $9B (2x entry) before preference, netting 80% upside after 20% dilution.

Base (55%)+80%

Base: Steady growth with government contracts; valuation doubles to $9B in 2 years, yielding 80% upside after dilution.

Bear (35%)-70%

Bear: Anduril competition and capital intensity slow growth; valuation drops to $2.25B (50% decline), resulting in -70% upside after 20% dilution.

Preference Stack Risk

high

Funding Intensity

2220%

Total funding of $1B represents 22% of $4.5B valuation, creating a $1B preference overhang that reduces common upside in a downside exit.

Dilution Risk

moderate

20% dilution assumed over 2 years from option pool and potential Series E, given the early-stage nature and high burn rate.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market data available; liquidity likely only upon exit (IPO or acquisition).
