Data Quality

Data: Low

The equity grant at the current $500M valuation offers negative expected return over 2 years given the 14% growth rate and 50x revenue multiple.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (20%)-100%

Even with multiple expansion to 8x forward revenue, implied exit value of $96M is far below the $500M entry. Common stock recovers near zero after preference and dilution.

Base (50%)-100%

Multiple converges to 5x on ~$12M revenue, yielding $60M exit. After 20% dilution, upside is -100% (common stock worthless).

Bear (30%)-100%

Multiple compresses to 3x; implied exit of $36M is below $100M total funding. Preference stack wipes out common stock entirely.
