Data Quality

Data: Low

Given the low entry valuation of $2.3M on $770K ARR and potential for high growth, the expected upside over 2 years is ~84%.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (30%)+249%

If Payman achieves category leadership and an IPO window opens, exit multiple could be 5x on projected revenue of $2.5M in mid-2027, yielding 249% upside net of 20% dilution.

Base (45%)+77%

Exit multiple converges to public comp range of 3x on $2.5M revenue, giving 77% upside net of dilution, assuming steady growth and moderate competition.

Bear (25%)-100%

If growth disappoints or competition intensifies, exit multiple compresses to 1.5x, but due to $13.8M preference stack, common stock recovers -100% as exit value falls below total funding.
