Stairwell, a Series B cybersecurity company with an estimated current revenue of $25M and a $250M valuation, presents a moderate upside opportunity for a job seeker.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (20%)+250%

Stairwell's proprietary AI-driven malware analysis platform gains significant market share by displacing legacy solutions and expanding its customer base, particularly with the success of Stairwell Core. Revenue grows to over $80M by 2028, justifying a $875M+ valuation at a 10x+ multiple, leading to a strong acquisition or Series C round.

Base (50%)+70%

Stairwell continues to grow steadily, maintaining its niche in AI-driven malware intelligence but facing persistent competition from incumbents. Revenue reaches $45M-$50M by 2028, leading to an estimated valuation of $425M, which is a modest increase from the current valuation.

Bear (30%)-60%

Dominant incumbents like CrowdStrike and Recorded Future expand their offerings to directly compete with Stairwell's specialized features, eroding its competitive moat and pricing power. Growth stalls, and the company struggles to raise a subsequent funding round, leading to a down round or acquisition at a valuation of $100M or less, significantly impairing common stock value given the existing liquidation preferences.

Preference Stack Risk

high

Investors hold $69.5M in liquidation preferences ahead of common shareholders. In an exit at or below the current $250M valuation, common stock holders would receive value only after the $69.5M preference is paid out.

Dilution Risk

high

As a Series B company, Stairwell will likely require at least one more significant funding round (e.g., Series C) before an exit, which will result in further dilution for existing equity holders.

Secondary Liquidity

none

There is no indication of active secondary markets or tender offers for Stairwell's equity.
