Data Quality

Data: Low

Given missing financial data and a stale round valuation, the equity upside is highly uncertain.

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Bull (10%)+200%

Neon captures significant market share from app stores as game developers shift to DTC, achieving high revenue growth and multiple expansion to public comps like Shopify. With $14M funding, potential for 3x revenue multiple on projected revenue of ~$5M in 24 months, yielding 200% upside from estimated $70M entry.

Base (55%)+50%

Neon grows steadily as a niche DTC platform, but faces headwinds from app store incumbents and slower adoption. Revenue reaches ~$3M, with multiple converging to 2x revenue, resulting in 50% upside from entry valuation.

Bear (35%)-100%

Competition from Shopify, Stripe, and app store restrictions stifle growth. Revenue disappoints at $1M, multiple compresses below 1x, and preference stack of $15.5M exceeds exit value, wiping out common stock. -100% return.
