Data: MediumCheckly presents a strong upside opportunity for a job seeker.
Last updated: February 25, 2026
Checkly continues its rapid enterprise customer acquisition, leveraging its 'Monitoring as Code' differentiation and strategic partnerships (e.g., AWS Marketplace, Vercel) to capture significant market share. Revenue grows to over $25M by 2028, justifying a $600M+ valuation at a premium multiple, leading to a 300% upside for current equity holders.
Checkly maintains strong growth, expanding its customer base and product features like Checkly Traces, but faces sustained competitive pressure from incumbents. Revenue reaches approximately $17.5M by 2028, leading to a valuation of around $315M and a 110% upside.
Dominant incumbents like Datadog and Dynatrace aggressively expand their 'Monitoring as Code' offerings, commoditizing Checkly's core differentiation. Growth stalls due to intense competition, and a challenging market leads to a down round or acquisition at a significantly reduced valuation of $64M, resulting in a -57% downside for common stock.
Preference Stack Risk
highInvestors hold $32.3M in liquidation preferences ahead of common stock. In an exit at or below $32.3M, common stock would receive nothing.
Dilution Risk
moderateAs a Series B company, Checkly will likely require at least one more significant funding round (Series C) before a potential IPO or acquisition, which will result in further dilution.
Secondary Liquidity
noneGiven its stage and size, there is currently no active secondary market or tender offers for Checkly's equity.

- 1
“Given the strong competition from established players like Datadog and Dynatrace, how does Checkly plan to maintain and expand its market share beyond its current developer-centric niche, especially as these incumbents might try to integrate similar 'Monitoring as Code' features?”
- 2
“The company has shown '3x growth among enterprise customers' and secured partnerships with Vercel and AWS Marketplace. What are the key strategies for accelerating this enterprise traction and expanding into new customer segments or geographies over the next 12-24 months?”

“With the Series B round completed, what is the anticipated timeline and key milestones for a potential liquidity event, such as a Series C, acquisition, or IPO, and how does the company plan to manage employee equity and potential dilution in future funding rounds?”
