Data Quality

Data: Low

Drift offers moderate upside potential, but high data staleness and the 2024 acquisition by Salesloft introduce significant uncertainty.

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Bull (20%)+104%

If Drift sustains growth and the IPO market reopens, multiples could expand to 10x forward revenue. Projected $204M revenue yields $2.04B exit, a 104% upside from $1B.

Base (55%)+53%

Revenue grows to $204M and multiple converges to 7.5x (midpoint of public comps), yielding $1.53B exit, a 53% upside.

Bear (25%)-18%

Multiple compresses to 4x due to competitive pressure from incumbents like HubSpot and Salesforce, yielding $816M exit, an 18.4% downside. Preference stack of $107M is covered, so common stock recovers $709M.

Est. time to liquidity~3.0 years
Adjusted for competitive dynamics: 49% (raw: 45%, adjustment: +4%)
