Data Quality
Data: LowThe equity is likely to be worth very little or nothing at a 2-year horizon due to extreme multiple compression from a stale $470M round valuation against declining revenue of $7.6M ARR, critical competition from tech giants, and a 28.7% preference overhang.
Last updated: July 19, 2026
If category leadership emerges or IPO window opens, exit multiple could reach 10x, but even then projected revenue of $7.6M yields exit of $76M; after 20% dilution, effective upside is -87.06%.
Implied multiple converges to 6x comp range; exit of $45.6M with dilution yields -92.24% return, reflecting severe multiple compression from 61.8x.
Exit multiple compresses to 3x, exit value $22.8M below $135M preference stack; common stock recovers 0%, resulting in total loss.
