Data Quality
Data: LowThe expected equity upside is ~8.4% over 2 years, tempered by severe preference overhang, high incumbent threat, and no imminent liquidity.
Last updated: July 20, 2026
IPO window opens and category leadership pushes multiple to 7x forward revenue, yielding $2.1B exit. Capped at +100% per late-stage constraints.
Multiple converges to 4.5x in line with public comps. Discount 20% dilution yields 33.3% upside.
Incumbent pressure compresses multiple to 2x. Dilution pushes upside to -51.8%; preference stack not triggered but valuation well below entry.
Preference Stack Risk
severeFunding Intensity
22300%Total preferred stock of $323.3M represents 35.9% of entry valuation, creating a severe liquidation preference overhang that dilutes common equity in exits below ~$900M.
Dilution Risk
highWith $323M raised and a $53M round in 2025, the company likely needs another round within 24 months, causing 15-25% dilution for existing shareholders.
Secondary Liquidity
noneNo secondary market or tender offers noted; employees have no liquidity before a liquidity event.
