Data Quality

Data: Low

Gradient Labs has strong product-market fit in a regulated niche, but with only 9% YoY growth and high preference overhang ($42.8M vs $60M valuation), the equity upside is limited.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (15%)+49%

AI adoption accelerates; Gradient gains market share in regulated fintech. Revenue reaches $5.9M, exit multiple expands to 15x (from assumed current 12x). Exit value $89.1M, providing moderate upside.

Base (45%)-1%

Modest growth continues; revenue hits $5.9M but multiple compresses to 10x as market normalizes. Exit value $59.4M, essentially flat before considering preference overhang.

Bear (40%)-100%

Growth stalls or competition (Sierra, incumbents) wins share. Revenue fails to grow, multiple drops to 5x, exit value $29.7M below $42.8M total funding. Common stock worthless.

severe

Funding Intensity

7130%

Total funding $42.8M represents 71% of current $60M valuation, giving preferred investors a significant liquidation preference that reduces common stock value.

Dilution Risk

low

The company just raised $26M in June 2026, providing roughly 5-7 years of runway based on current burn. No near-term raise expected.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market activity reported; shares are illiquid with no known tender offers.
