Data Quality

Data: Low

Given the stale valuation, high competition from tech giants, and negative expected return of -83% over 2 years, this equity grant has limited upside potential.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (10%)-33%

Even with strong market position, exit value of $190M at 12x revenue yields negative return before dilution; after 20% dilution, return is -33%.

Base (45%)-77%

Convergence to comp multiple of 6x with projected $15.8M revenue gives exit ~$95M, a 56% loss before 20% dilution.

Bear (45%)-100%

Multiple compression to 3x and preference stack of $80.7M leads to zero common equity value, even before dilution.

Est. time to liquidity~4.0 years

Preference Stack Risk

severe

Funding Intensity

3680%

Total funding of $80.7M represents 36.8% of current valuation, implying significant preference overhang that dilutes common equity value in downside scenarios.

Dilution Risk

high

Given $50M raised over 2 years ago and no profitability, a down round or significant dilution is probable, reducing common stock value by ~20%.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary transactions reported; liquidity limited until IPO or acquisition.
