Data Quality
Data: LowCraniometrix presents a differentiated, government-reimbursed dementia care thesis with real clinical credibility (Johns Hopkins, $4M ARR, GUIDE program positioning), but the equity mechanics are unfavorable for a 2-year horizon given the February 2026 Series A close.
Last updated: May 13, 2026
GUIDE program enrollment scales aggressively, driving ARR from $4M to $18M+ by 2028 and supporting a Series B at roughly $180-200M (~11-12x ARR). After ~20% Series B dilution and $21.5M in liquidation preferences being paid through, common equity holders realize approximately 200% upside.
Steady but moderate GUIDE enrollment growth brings ARR to ~$8-9M by 2028, supporting a Series B at ~$80-90M valuation. After new round dilution (~20%) and the $21.5M preference stack absorbing a disproportionate share of proceeds, common equity upside compresses to roughly 20%.
CMS reimbursement rates are cut, enrollment stalls, or GUIDE program eligibility tightens, leaving ARR flat near $4-5M and forcing a down round or acqui-hire at $25-40M. With $21.5M in liquidation preferences consuming most exit proceeds, employee common equity loses approximately 75% of notional value.
Preference Stack Risk
severeFunding Intensity
33%Total liquidation preferences of $21.5M represent an estimated ~33% of a ~$65M post-Series A valuation, meaning common equity holders only participate meaningfully after the full $21.5M (plus any future round preferences) is returned to preferred investors first.
Dilution Risk
highAs a freshly-closed Series A company at $4M ARR, Craniometrix will almost certainly require at least one additional financing round (Series B) within the 2-year horizon, likely diluting current common holders by 15-25% before any liquidity event.
Secondary Liquidity
noneAt Series A stage with 36 employees, no secondary market activity should be expected; employee equity is effectively illiquid until an IPO or acquisition, realistically 5-7 years from now.
Questions to Ask at the Interview
Strategic questions based on Craniometrix's data — designed to show you've done your homework.
- 1
“What is your current revenue per enrolled patient across GUIDE complexity tiers, and what does unit economics look like at 1,000 versus 10,000 enrolled patients — specifically, what drives the step-function in margin?”
- 2
“How dependent is the business on CMS GUIDE program continuation, and what is the product and revenue roadmap if CMS reduces reimbursement rates or restructures program eligibility in the next 2-3 years?”
- 3
“Can you walk me through the fully diluted cap table, including liquidation preference terms and any participation rights for current preferred holders — and what exit valuation would be required for common stockholders to achieve a 2x return on today's strike price?”
