HOLY operates in a growing 'better-for-you' beverage market with impressive early revenue (~$66M) and customer acquisition.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (15%)+300%

HOLY successfully expands its direct-to-consumer model into new European markets and strategically enters select retail channels, building a strong brand and loyal subscriber base. Aggressive product innovation with new functional ingredients and flavors resonates strongly with consumers, driving revenue to over $200M by 2028 and attracting a strategic acquisition offer from a major beverage company at a $250M+ valuation, providing significant returns for common shareholders after preferences.

Base (20%)+50%

HOLY continues its steady growth, expanding its customer base and product lines within its existing markets. However, increasing competition from both smaller D2C players and initial 'better-for-you' product launches from incumbents limits market share gains. The company secures a follow-on funding round at a $100M valuation, providing moderate upside for common shareholders after accounting for the $14M liquidation preference.

Bear (65%)-90%

Major incumbent beverage companies like Coca-Cola or PepsiCo aggressively enter the 'better-for-you' powdered drink market, leveraging their vast resources, distribution networks, and marketing budgets. HOLY's growth stalls due to intense competition and lack of a strong competitive moat, leading to a down round or a distressed sale at or below its $14M total funding, effectively wiping out most or all common stock value.

Preference Stack Risk

high

Investors hold $14M in liquidation preferences. In an exit at $70M, common shareholders would only see returns on $56M of value, and at a $14M exit, common shareholders would receive nothing.

Dilution Risk

high

As a Series A company, HOLY will likely require several more funding rounds, leading to significant future dilution for current common equity holders.

Secondary Liquidity

none

As an early-stage private company, there is currently no active secondary market for HOLY equity.
