Normal Computing offers a high-risk, high-reward opportunity.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (20%)+148%

Bull case: Normal Computing achieves category leadership in thermodynamic AI chips and opens IPO window, sustaining a 25x multiple on $21.4M revenue, yielding 148% net upside after 20% dilution.

Base (35%)+41%

Base case: Multiple converges to public comp range of 15x on $21.4M revenue, with organic growth and moderate dilution, resulting in 41% net upside.

Bear (45%)-34%

Bear case: Incumbent competition from Nvidia/IBM compresses multiple to 8x on $21.4M revenue, and dilution further reduces net upside to -34%.

Funding Intensity

43%

Total funding of $85M represents 42.5% of estimated valuation, creating a severe preference overhang that could wipe out common in a down round.

Dilution Risk

high

With $85M total funding and high capital intensity, another raise within 24 months is likely, diluting existing equity by 20% or more.

Secondary Liquidity
