Data: Low

Supernova's common equity offers a ~158% expected 2-year upside in probability-weighted terms, but the severe preference stack ($22.2M raised vs $15M valuation) makes the downside asymmetric: a bear scenario yields a total loss.

Last updated: August 3, 2026

Bull (30%)+349%

AI design-to-code achieves category leadership and an IPO window opens, expanding the exit multiple to 8x forward revenue. At $8.8M projected revenue, exit value is $70.4M, netting ~349% upside to the employee after 20% dilution.

Base (45%)+174%

Revenue grows to $8.8M with a 5x exit multiple (converging to public comps), implying a $44M exit. Net of 20% dilution, the employee sees ~173% upside, though the preference stack still consumes a large share of proceeds.

Bear (25%)-100%

Growth stalls and the exit multiple compresses to 2x forward revenue, yielding $17.6M. This falls below the $22.2M total funding, leaving common stock with zero recovery and a -100% return.

Preference Stack Risk

severe

Funding Intensity

14800%

Total funding of $22.2M is 148% of the current $15M valuation; a 1x non-participating preference eliminates common value for exits below ~$22.2M.

Dilution Risk

high

Given the burn rate and only $5M ARR, another raise within 24 months is likely; we assumed 20% dilution to existing holders.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market or recent liquidity event reported; employees have no opportunity to sell shares until an acquisition or IPO.
