Data Quality

Data: Medium

Given the entry valuation of $4.25B on $115M ARR (37x revenue), every scenario yields negative equity returns even with robust growth.

Last updated: July 3, 2026

Bull (30%)-32%

Revenue reaches $294M by 2028; exit multiple holds at 12x (similar to Intuit) due to successful IPO and category leadership, yielding a $3.53B exit. After 15% dilution, upside is -32%.

Base (25%)-60%

Revenue reaches $294M; exit multiple converges to 8x (midpoint of comp range), yielding $2.35B exit. After 15% dilution, upside is -59.6%.

Bear (45%)-87%

Revenue underperforms or multiple compresses to 4x (Sage-like) due to intense competition from incumbents, yielding $1.18B exit. After 15% dilution, upside is -87.3%. Preference stack of $418M is covered, but common stock value is minimal.

Preference Stack Risk

moderate

Funding Intensity

980%

Total funding of $418M represents ~9.8% of valuation; a 1x non-participating preference is covered in all scenarios but reduces common upside proportionally.

Dilution Risk

moderate

Recent $204M raise (Jan 2026) likely funds 2+ years, but further dilution (15-25%) is possible if additional capital is needed before liquidity event.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market activity reported; liquidity is limited to an IPO or acquisition, expected within 2 years.
