Data Quality

Data: Low

Stensul offers a legitimate product with $28.3M ARR and strong customers, but the 2-year equity upside is only ~12% after a severe 38% preferred overhang and a likely 20% dilutive raise.

Last updated: August 4, 2026

Bull (20%)+69%

If the IPO window reopens and Stensul becomes a clear category leader, the forward revenue multiple expands to 7x, yielding a ~$284M exit value. After subtracting 20 points for a dilutive follow-on raise, common stock upside is ~69%.

Base (55%)+15%

Revenue grows to ~$40.5M and the exit multiple converges to 5x, in line with public comps, giving a ~$203M valuation. After 20% dilution from a likely raise, common stock upside is only ~15%.

Bear (25%)-39%

The multiple compresses to 3x (below public comps), producing a ~$122M exit value, still above the $57.5M preference stack but below the $150M entry valuation. After 20% dilution, common stock upside is -39%, and returns are highly sensitive to the preferred liquidation preference.

Preference Stack Risk

severe

Funding Intensity

38%

$57.5M of preferred liquidation preference sits ahead of common, representing ~38% of the $150M entry valuation and leaving common with ~62% of the cap table.

Dilution Risk

high

A follow-on round within 24 months is likely given the stale Nov 2023 round and no profitability; expect ~20%+ dilution.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market signal or buyback program exists, so employee shares likely remain illiquid until a round, sale, or IPO.
