Data: Medium

Given the high preference overhang ($172M) on a $400M valuation and negative expected common return (-5.5%), this equity grant carries significant risk.

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Bull (20%)+109%

Hex achieves IPO within 2 years, sustaining a 13.5x revenue multiple on projected $50.5M revenue, yielding a $682M exit. Common stock returns 108.6% after preference and dilution.

Base (55%)-13%

Revenue grows to $50.5M but multiple converges to 8x, inline with public comps. Exit value $404M, but preference stack of $172M erodes common returns to -13.25% after dilution.

Bear (25%)-80%

Revenue growth disappoints or multiple compresses to 5x, resulting in $252.5M exit. After preference, common gets only $80.5M, yielding a -79.7% return after dilution.

Preference Stack Risk

severe

Funding Intensity

43%

Total preferred stock of $172M implies a 43% preference overhang at the $400M valuation, meaning common equity value is only $228M.

Dilution Risk

moderate

With $70M raised in May 2025 and likely 2+ years of runway, a future raise is not imminent but possible, estimated 15% dilution over 2 years.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market transactions reported; shares are illiquid until an exit event.
