Cocoon is a leave management software that uses first-of-its-kind technology to take the work out of leave. The process of taking and managing leave is often confusing, arduous, and stressful for everyone involved. Cocoon automates the complexities of compliance, claims, and payroll so People teams can focus instead on caring for their people.

Data Quality

Data: Low

Cocoon was acquired by TriNet in April 2026, providing a clear liquidity event.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (15%)+248%

If Cocoon achieves 8x revenue multiple (top HR comps) on $25.1M ARR, exit is $200.8M; net of 20% dilution, upside 248%. Driver: TriNet acquisition provides distribution.

Base (55%)+110%

Base case: 5x multiple on $25.1M ARR yields $125.5M exit (130% pre-dilution); net of 20% dilution, upside 110%. Reflects niche leave management platform.

Bear (30%)-28%

Bear case: 2x multiple on $25.1M ARR gives $50.2M exit (-8% pre-dilution); net 20% dilution, -28% downside. Preference stack further reduces common recovery.

severe

Funding Intensity

48%

Total funding $26M vs valuation $54.5M indicates a 48% preference overhang, meaning common stock sees severely reduced proceeds if exit is below ~$52M.

Dilution Risk

high

Given no raise since 2021, a 20% dilution in 2 years is assumed; actual could be higher if cash burn continues.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market reported; equity is illiquid until exit.
