Neeva was acquired by Snowflake for $185M in May 2023.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (10%)+100%

A hypothetical scenario where Neeva either secured a significantly higher acquisition price (e.g., $370M, 2x the current valuation) or successfully pivoted to enterprise AI and achieved a much higher independent valuation, driven by strong adoption of its generative AI search technology.

Base (70%)0%

Neeva is acquired by Snowflake for $185M, as occurred in May 2023. This outcome provided an exit for investors and employees, but for common stock holders, the return relative to the $185M valuation at which equity might have been granted was 0%, after accounting for liquidation preferences.

Bear (20%)-100%

The acquisition by Snowflake falls through, leading to the company's full shutdown due to its inability to attract paying users for its consumer product and ongoing financial struggles, resulting in common stock becoming worthless (-100% upside).

Preference Stack Risk

severe

Funding Intensity

42%

Investors contributed $78M in total funding. With a $185M acquisition price, and assuming 1x liquidation preference, approximately $78M would go to preferred shareholders first, leaving $107M for common shareholders. The high funding intensity of 42.16% indicates a severe preference stack, meaning common stock holders faced significant risk of limited returns if the exit value was lower or barely covered preferences.

Dilution Risk

high

Prior to acquisition, the high funding intensity suggested significant past and potential future dilution. Post-acquisition, dilution risk for Neeva equity is moot, as it converted to Snowflake equity.

Secondary Liquidity

none

As Neeva was acquired, there is no secondary market for its standalone equity.
