Data Quality
Data: LowSpline has a genuinely differentiated product with impressive customer logos at only $6.7M ARR and 41 employees, but the equity analysis is highly speculative: no confirmed valuation, no reported growth rate, and $32M in total funding creating a preference stack that likely absorbs 27-36% of enterprise value before common stock participates.

Spline becomes the dominant no-code web-native 3D platform, scaling from $6.7M to $22M+ ARR by mid-2028 on the back of AI integration (Omma) and enterprise expansion among its blue-chip customer base; a Series B closes at $250-350M post-money, implying a 2.8-3.9x step-up from the estimated ~$90M Series A valuation. At 15-18x ARR on $22M revenue, common equity participates meaningfully once $32M in preferences clears.
Spline grows steadily to $12-14M ARR over two years, raises a Series B at roughly $140-160M post-money, and delivers a ~1.5-1.6x step-up over the estimated $90M entry valuation — solid but unlikely to be realized within the 2-year window as the company remains pre-liquidity. The platform retains its niche but faces pricing pressure and slower enterprise penetration than the bull case.
Competitive pressure from Adobe, Figma, or AI-native 3D tools stalls growth below $9M ARR; tightening funding conditions force a flat or down round, cutting the estimated $90M baseline valuation in half. With $32M in liquidation preferences senior to common stock, employee equity absorbs the full impairment in any distressed exit or acqui-hire scenario.
Preference Stack Risk
highFunding Intensity
36%$32M in total liquidation preferences against an estimated ~$90M Series A post-money valuation implies roughly 36% of enterprise value must accrue to preferred holders before employee common stock participates in any exit proceeds.
Dilution Risk
highAt Series A stage the company will almost certainly require at least one to two additional funding rounds before a liquidity event, each likely diluting existing common stock by 15-25% per round.
Secondary Liquidity
limitedWith 41 employees, no known tender offer history, and a Series A raise completed only 18 months ago, secondary market transactions are highly unlikely within the 2-year analysis horizon.
Questions to Ask at the Interview
Strategic questions based on Spline's data — designed to show you've done your homework.
- 1
“What is Spline's current ARR and year-over-year growth rate, and how is revenue split between self-serve PLG and enterprise contracts?”
- 2
“How does the product roadmap defend against Adobe or Figma embedding interactive 3D natively — what is the switching cost that keeps enterprise customers locked in?”
- 3
“What was the post-money valuation and liquidation preference structure on the November 2024 Series A, and is the company planning a tender offer or secondary program in the next 12-24 months?”
