Data Quality

Data: Low

The equity upside for a new hire is strongly negative (-75% expected return) given the high preference overhang, likely need for dilutive funding, and evidence of severe revenue decline.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (10%)+150%

If Novi achieves category leadership and an IPO window opens, exit multiple could hold at 47.6x, yielding a $182M exit. After preference, common stock returns 170%, diluted to 150% by a likely raise.

Base (50%)-100%

Exit multiple converges to 7x, giving a $27M exit value, well below the $52M preference. Common stock returns -100%.

Bear (40%)-100%

Multiple compresses to 4x and revenue stagnates, exit value of $15M. Preference stack absorbs everything, common stock returns -100%.

severe

Funding Intensity

5180%

Total funding of $51.8M represents 51.8% of the estimated $100M entry valuation, meaning preferred stockholders have a significant liquidation preference over common.

Dilution Risk

high

The company has not raised capital since 2022 and likely needs fresh funding within 24 months, which would dilute existing common shareholders by an estimated 15-25%.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market activity or implied valuation from secondary trades was reported, so employees have no near-term liquidity option.
