Tessl helps AI agents stay reliable and aligned by grounding their work in specs. Agents are powerful, but they can drift — misinterpreting requests, hallucinating APIs, or breaking existing features when adding new ones. Tessl integrates with most agents and uses spec-driven development to give agents (and you) a structured way to capture intent, run tests, and evolve codebases with fewer mistakes.

Data Quality

Data: Low

Equity value is effectively zero under all scenarios given current $7.7M annual revenue with 5.6% growth and a $750M valuation.

Last updated: July 19, 2026

Bull (10%)-100%

AI category leadership holds the multiple at 10x, but projected revenue of $8.3M yields exit value of $83M, far below $750M entry. After 20% dilution, common stock is worthless.

Base (50%)-100%

Exit multiple converges to 6x, exit value $50M. Preference stack of $125M absorbs all proceeds; common stock recovery is -100%.

Bear (40%)-100%

Multiple compresses to 3x with low growth, exit value $25M. With $125M in preferences, common stock sees zero recovery.

Preference Stack Risk

moderate

Funding Intensity

1670%

Total funding of $125M represents 16.7% of entry valuation, creating moderate preference overhang that wipes out common in bear and base cases.

Dilution Risk

high

With low revenue and likely cash burn, a down round or large dilutive raise is probable within 24 months, reducing common equity further.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market transactions indicated; liquidity likely only through IPO or acquisition, which are distant.
