Data Quality

Data: Low

Equity upside is highly uncertain due to an outdated 2021 Series A valuation ($100M estimated, stale mark) and critical incumbent threats from Workday.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (20%)+148%

IPO window opens and Dover establishes category leadership as AI-native recruiting platform, sustaining 14x multiple on $19.1M ARR for $267.96M exit, net 148% upside after 20% dilution.

Base (40%)+71%

Growth moderates to ~75% and 56% YoY, exit multiple converges to public comp average of ~10x, yielding $191.4M exit and 71.4% upside after dilution.

Bear (40%)-24%

Incumbent threat from Workday AI agent compresses multiple to 5x, exit value drops to $95.7M, combined with 20% dilution yields -24.3% return.

Preference Stack Risk

moderate

Funding Intensity

2300%

Total preferred funding of $23M at ~$100M valuation gives a 23% preference overhang, moderate but not severe.

Dilution Risk

high

With no profitability and last round 5 years ago, a new fundraising round is highly likely, potentially diluting common equity by 20%+.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market activity detected – employees have no liquidity path until an exit event.
