Data Quality
Data: MediumPostman offers a modest ~26% expected 2-year equity return from a $3.64B secondary-market valuation, supported by a strong moat and profitability.
Last updated: August 10, 2026
IPO window opens and category leadership supports 12x forward revenue, driving value to $5.68B, a +56% return on the $3.64B entry.
Revenue reaches ~$473M and exit multiple converges to 10x, valuing equity at $4.73B, a +30% return.
Growth slows and multiple compresses to 6x, yielding $2.84B, -22%; still above the $433M preferred stack, so common stock is not wiped out.
Preference Stack Risk
moderateFunding Intensity
1190%Total preferred liquidation preference of $433M equals ~11.9% of entry equity value, so common holders only face total loss if exit value falls below $433M.
Dilution Risk
lowPostman's recent $225M raise and profitability lower near-term dilution risk, though stock-funded M&A could add a few points of dilution.
Secondary Liquidity
limitedSecondary trades at $3.64B, a 44% discount to the latest round, signal limited buyer appetite and no active employee liquidity.
