Data Quality

Data: Low

Given the stale valuation, high preference overhang (72%), and medium incumbent threat, the expected upside over 2 years is ~117% net of dilution, but confidence is Low due to valuation staleness.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (15%)+180%

Bull case assumes IPO window or category leadership supports multiple expansion to 10x, but cap at 200% due to stage constraints. Projected revenue $80M yields $800M exit, but after 20pp dilution upside is 180%.

Base (55%)+164%

Base case assumes exit multiple converges to 6x public comp average. Exit at $480M gives 184% upside before dilution, net 164% after 20pp dilution.

Bear (30%)0%

Bear case with multiple compression to 3x yields $240M exit, but after 1x preference stack ($90.1M), common recovers only ~$150M, giving 19.9% upside before dilution, effectively 0% after 20pp dilution.

Funding Intensity

72%

Total funding of $90.1M represents 72% of current valuation, meaning common stock is deeply subordinated in a downside scenario.

high

With last round in 2021 and no disclosed profitability, another raise is likely, diluting common equity 15-25%.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market activity observed; liquidity likely dependent on acquisition or IPO.
