Preference Stack Risk
severeFunding Intensity
31%Total funding of $97.1M represents 30.5% of the $317.9M valuation, giving preferred stock a 1x non-participating liquidation preference that fully dilutes common in a down round.
Dilution Risk
highWith no funding round since Sep 2022 and $97.1M total funding, a new raise within 24 months is likely, estimated to dilute existing common by 15-25%.
Secondary Liquidity
moderateA secondary market valuation exists ($317.9M as of Jan 2025), but liquidity is limited and not guaranteed for employees.
