Data Quality

Data: Low

Deako shows promise with a patented modular approach and strong builder partnerships, but the complete lack of disclosed revenue and current valuation makes equity upside highly uncertain.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (20%)+140%

Deako achieves strong market penetration with top homebuilders and successfully IPOs at a 2-3x revenue multiple, driven by high growth and patent moat. Revenue grows 121% then ~80% in year 2, but no base known.

Base (40%)+20%

Moderate growth continues as Deako expands in homebuilder channel, but incumbent competition limits multiple expansion. Revenue grows but exit multiple compresses to 1.5-2x.

Bear (40%)-84%

Incumbent giants like Lutron and Leviton aggressively counter, or big tech enters, causing revenue deceleration. Preference stack ensures common stock near total loss in down round or exit below $65M funding.

Preference Stack Risk

moderate

Funding Intensity

0%

Total funding of $65.1M suggests preference overhang may be moderate if valuation is above $200M, but unknown.

Dilution Risk

high

Late-stage with $3.4M convertible note likely indicates future priced round, diluting common by 15-25%.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market transactions detected; employee options likely have no short-term liquidity.
