Data Quality

Data: Low

The expected equity return over 2 years is negative ~-14% due to heavy preference overhang ($65.1M vs implied $150M valuation), high dilution risk from an expected fundraise, and strong incumbent competition.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (10%)+68%

If the company captures category leadership via its AI bill-understanding technology and benefits from a fintech IPO window, exit multiple could expand to 7x forward revenue on projected $34.8M revenue, yielding ~$244M exit; after preference and 20% dilution, common equity returns ~68%.

Base (55%)+3%

Exit multiple converges to public comp range ~5x forward revenue, exit value ~$174M; after preference and dilution, common equity gains ~3% from current common stock value.

Bear (35%)-63%

Multiple compresses to 3x as big tech (Apple, Google) and incumbents (Doxo) intensify competition; exit value ~$104M; preference overhang of $65M leaves common equity deeply impaired, losing ~63% of its value even after accounting for dilution.
