Data Quality

Data: Low

Last.fm offers significant downside risk for a job candidate due to severe preference overhang ($5M vs ~$5M entry valuation), missing financial data, and high incumbent threat.

Preference Stack Risk

severe

Funding Intensity

10000%

Total funding of $5M equals the estimated entry valuation, meaning preferred stock holds full liquidation preference over common.

Dilution Risk

high

With low revenue, unprofitability, and stale round, a new capital raise within 24 months is likely, diluting common by 15-25%.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market exists; the company has not had a valuation event since 2006.
