Data Quality

Data: Medium

Glean's current secondary valuation of $6.9B implies a 23x multiple on $300M ARR, which is difficult to justify given critical incumbent threats and likely growth deceleration.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (20%)-19%

Glean achieves category leadership in enterprise AI, benefiting from an IPO window that supports a 12x revenue multiple. Revenue reaches ~$582M, but dilution from a follow-on raise offsets gains, resulting in a -19% return.

Base (35%)-61%

Growth converges to ~45%/33% YoY, but multiple contracts to 7x in line with public comps. Dilution from a capital raise in 24 months further depresses returns to -61%.

Bear (45%)-86%

Incumbent competition (Microsoft, Google) erodes market share, compressing the multiple to 4x. Revenue growth slows below projections, and preference stack overhang combined with dilution leads to -86% return.

Secondary market implied valuation exists, suggesting some liquidity but with limited volume and price discovery.
