Data Quality
Data: LowCocoon was acquired by TriNet in April 2026, providing a clear liquidity event.
Last updated: July 19, 2026
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 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 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.
