Preference Stack Risk

high

Funding Intensity

2850%

Total funding of $1.31B on a $4.6B valuation equates to 28.5% preference overhang, meaning common shares face significant dilution in a favorable exit and wipeout below $1.31B.

Dilution Risk

high

Given high capital intensity and recent factory investments, a capital raise within 2 years is likely, potentially diluting common equity by 15-25%.

Secondary Liquidity

limited

Secondary trades exist but are infrequent; liquidity is limited for employees until IPO or acquisition.
