Data Quality

Data: Medium

The equity opportunity carries extreme risk: despite $1.28B revenue and 32% growth, the current $76.7M valuation implies massive preferred overhang and a -100% bear case.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (10%)+85%

Exit multiple expands to 1.0x due to Teads merger synergies and category leadership. However, stage cap limits upside to 100% before 15% dilution, netting 85%.

Base (45%)+1105%

Exit multiple of 0.5x (converging to comp range) on projected $1.87B revenue yields 11.2x raw upside; after 15% dilution, net upside of 1105%.

Bear (45%)-100%

Exit multiple compresses to 0.1x, implying $187M exit value below $404M total funding, resulting in zero recovery for common stock.
