Data Quality
Data: MediumEquity upside is highly negative (~ -97% expected) due to a stale Series B valuation of $250M on only $9.2M ARR—a 27x multiple that must compress toward public comps (4-10x).
Last updated: July 3, 2026
Exit multiple holds at 12x projected revenue of $15M, implying $180M exit. After 1x non-participating preference on $56.5M, common stock recovers $123.5M, yielding -50.6% return before 20% dilution adjustment (-70.6% net).
Multiple compresses to 7x on $15M revenue, exit $105M. After preference, common gets $48.5M for -80.6% return; dilution adjustment drives to -100%.
Multiple compresses to 4x, exit $60M. Preference takes $56.5M, common recovers $3.5M for -98.6% return; dilution caps at -100%.
Preference Stack Risk
highFunding Intensity
23%Total funding of $56.5M represents 22.6% of current valuation, a high preference overhang that significantly reduces common stock proceeds in a downside exit.
Dilution Risk
highNo raise since 2022 suggests a new round is likely within 24 months, potentially diluting common equity by 15-25%.
Secondary Liquidity
noneNo secondary market transactions reported; employees have no liquidity path until a qualified exit.
