Data: Medium

Human Interest offers high growth (71% YoY) and a strong moat, but the equity math is unfavorable for a new hire.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (20%)+94%

IPO window materializes within 24 months, allowing the rich 15x multiple to hold on $429M revenue (implied market cap $6.4B). Net of 20% dilution, upside is ~94%.

Base (35%)-34%

Multiple compresses to 6x (in line with public comps) on $429M revenue ($2.6B exit). After 20% dilution, common shares lose ~34%.

Bear (45%)-100%

Multiple falls to 3x on $429M revenue ($1.29B exit). After 1x preferred liquidation preference ($904M), common equity is wiped out, yielding -100% return.

Preference Stack Risk

severe

Funding Intensity

3013%

Total funding of $904M (30% of $3B valuation) means preferred shareholders have a large senior claim, which would absorb a significant portion of exit proceeds in a downside scenario.

Dilution Risk

high

The company's high burn rate and recent $100M raise suggest another funding round is likely within 24 months, potentially diluting common holders by 15-25%.

Secondary Liquidity

moderate

Secondary market transactions imply a ~7% discount to the last round ($2.79B vs $3B), indicating some liquidity for existing shareholders.
