Data: High

This is an attractive equity package on paper: even a bear-case 6x revenue exit on $13B ARR yields ~346% upside, and the base case is ~791%, driven by 400% YoY growth and a fresh $1.5B Series D.

Bull (25%)+200%

With an IPO window and category leadership, Fireworks holds an 18x revenue multiple on $13B ARR, implying a $234B exit. Upside is capped at +200% for a Series D-stage company.

Base (35%)+791%

Revenue reaches ~$13B by month 24 and the multiple normalizes to 12x, near the public comp range, yielding a $156B market cap. That is +791% versus the $17.5B entry valuation.

Bear (40%)+346%

AWS/Google competition compresses the exit multiple to 6x, but projected revenue of $13B still supports a $78B exit, far above the $1.81B preference stack. Common stock enjoys +346% even in a bear case.

Preference Stack Risk

Funding Intensity

1034%

$1.81B of preferred stock vs $17.5B valuation is ~10% overhang; common recovers fully unless exit drops below $1.81B.

Dilution Risk

low

The $1.5B Series D gives ample runway; no further raise is modeled in the next 24 months, so dilution is minimal.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market data was provided; liquidity will likely depend on an IPO or tender offer.
