Data Quality
Data: MediumThe equity upside is deeply negative under realistic scenarios due to a stale high valuation ($1B) and slowing growth.
Last updated: July 19, 2026
IPO catalyst pushes multiple to 10x, but high entry multiple limits upside to 8% pre-dilution; after 20% dilution, net -12%.
Multiple converges to public comp range of 2x, yielding exit value $216M; preference and dilution cause severe loss.
Exit value below total funding of $175M; common stock recovers -100% due to liquidation preference.
