Exit multiple converges to public comp range (7x); projected revenue $8.4M yields $58.8M exit, down from $60M entry, net of dilution.

Bear (40%)-78%

Est. time to liquidity~4.0 years

Preference Stack Risk

high

Funding Intensity

26%

Total funding $15.5M vs entry valuation $60M implies 25.8% preference overhang, which is high and could severely dilute common in a down round.

Dilution Risk

high

Given capital intensity and only 2 months of runway (estimated from $15M round), another raise within 2 years is likely, inducing 15-25% dilution.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market activity reported; shares are illiquid until an exit event.

  • 1

    How does the company plan to scale from one customer (Abacus Semiconductor) to multiple Tier-1 data center operators?

  • 2

    Given the capital-intensive hardware model, what is the path to gross margin improvement and unit cost reduction?

  • 3

    What is the expected dilution from the option pool and future fundraising, and how would that impact my ownership percentage over 4 years?
