Loom was acquired by Atlassian in November 2023 for $975 million, which matched its last private valuation.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (10%)+50%

Had Loom achieved stronger growth and market penetration, it could have attracted a more competitive acquisition offer or pursued a successful IPO, valuing the company at $1.4B - $1.5B, representing a 50%+ upside for equity holders before the actual acquisition.

Base (80%)0%

Loom was acquired by Atlassian in November 2023 for $975 million, matching the company's valuation. Employees joining at this valuation would have realized no capital appreciation from their equity grant upon the acquisition.

Bear (10%)-50%

Increased competitive pressure from incumbents like Google and Microsoft, coupled with slower-than-expected growth, could have led to a down round or an acquisition at a significantly lower valuation (e.g., $450M-$500M), resulting in a substantial loss of value for common stock holders, especially given the preference stack.
