Data: MediumSublime Security offers a high-risk, high-reward equity opportunity.
Last updated: July 3, 2026
If Sublime Security achieves category leadership and benefits from an IPO window, its revenue multiple could expand to 20x, yielding a 2.96x return on revenue growth of 2.73x. After 15% dilution, net upside is 181%.
Revenue converges to $137M in 24 months, and the exit multiple normalizes to 12x (in line with public comps). After 15% dilution, upside is 63%.
Intense competition from Microsoft, Google, and incumbents compresses the multiple to 6x, well below the comp range. Revenue growth partially offsets, but after dilution the equity loses 26% of its value.
