Roli, a music technology company with innovative hardware and software, presents a high-risk equity opportunity.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (15%)+200%

Roli successfully integrates Ultraleap's hand-tracking and computer vision technology, and its AI Music Coach, Roli Piano, and Airwave products gain significant traction, especially in the music learning segment. This drives revenue to $80M-$100M by 2028, justifying a $600M valuation, providing a meaningful return above the liquidation preference.

Base (40%)+20%

Roli maintains its niche in expressive instruments and sees moderate growth in its music learning platforms, reaching $35M-$45M in revenue by 2028. This leads to a $240M valuation, but given the $207M liquidation preference, common stock holders would see minimal returns.

Bear (45%)-70%

Roli struggles to commercially scale its new AI and hand-tracking features, and intense competition from incumbents limits growth. Revenue stagnates around $15M-$20M, leading to a down round or further financial distress. A $60M valuation would result in common stock holders receiving little to nothing due to the $207M liquidation preference.
