Data: Low

This is a high-risk, high-reward equity opportunity: expected 2-year upside is ~33%, but the base case is only 30% net and the bear case is -20%.

Last updated: August 10, 2026

Bull (30%)+80%

AI-native compliance becomes category leader and an IPO window opens by 2028, supporting an 8x exit multiple on $17.5M projected ARR, a $140M exit. That is 100% pre-dilution upside, 80% net after 20pt dilution.

Base (45%)+30%

Revenue grows ~100% decaying to ~75%, reaching $17.5M ARR; exit multiple settles at 6x near public SaaS comps, implying ~$105M exit. This is 50% pre-dilution upside, 30% net after dilution.

Bear (25%)-20%

Incumbent competition and slower growth compress the exit multiple to 4x, producing a $70M exit — 0% pre-dilution upside. After 20pt dilution, common sees -20%; the $27M liquidation preference is barely covered.

Preference Stack Risk

severe

Funding Intensity

39%

$27M of preferred stock sits ahead of common, representing ~39% of the $70M entry valuation; common shareholders only participate after the preference is repaid.

Dilution Risk

high

Likely follow-on funding within 24 months to support growth; assumed 20 percentage point dilution to current shareholders.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market activity or tender offer data provided, so liquidity is likely limited until an IPO or acquisition.
