Last updated: July 21, 2026

Bull (30%)-28%

IPO and category leadership sustain a 40x revenue multiple on $176M revenue, but entry at 80x still causes common stock to lose ~28% after 15% dilution.

Base (45%)-97%

Multiple compresses to 10x on projected revenue, yielding common exit of $1.33B after preference; dilution adds 15pp loss, resulting in ~97% decline from entry common value.

Bear (25%)-100%

Multiple drops to 4x, exit $704M barely above preference; common stock recovers $274M but dilution and initial overvaluation lead to total loss of common equity value.
