Data Quality

Data: Medium

Given the current secondary valuation of $850M and projected 2-year revenue of ~$27M, the implied multiple of 52x forward revenue is unsustainable relative to public comps of 5-12x.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (20%)-73%

Bull case: multiples hold near 15x due to successful IPO and market leadership; but even then, high entry multiple and expected dilution result in significant downside.

Base (35%)-95%

Base case: multiple converges to 8x as growth decelerates; after 20% dilution, common stock retains minimal value.

Bear (45%)-100%

Bear case: preference stack dominates; implied exit of $106.7M is below total funding of $119.5M, wiping out common equity.

Funding Intensity

1410%

Total preferred of $119.5M represents 14% of entry valuation; in bear case exit below that, common stock receives nothing.

Dilution Risk

high

With latest round in 2022 and no profitability, a down round or up round could dilute existing common by 20%+.

Secondary Liquidity

limited

Recent secondary transactions valued company at $850M, but common stock may trade at a discount.
