Data Quality

Data: Low

Given the stale valuation ($150M assumed at 6x revenue) and high uncertainty, the equity has significant upside potential (130% expected) but hinges on continued hypergrowth and successful exit.

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Bull (30%)+179%

Strong revenue growth continues at 60%+/year, leading to $56M revenue. Exit multiple expands to 8x due to IPO window or category leadership, yielding $448M exit. Net of 20% dilution, upside ~179%.

Base (50%)+141%

Revenue grows to $56M with moderate decay. Exit multiple converges to 7x within comp range, giving $392M exit. After 20% dilution, upside ~141%.

Bear (20%)+29%

Growth slows, revenue only reaches $56M (same projection) but multiple compresses to 4x due to competitive pressure or market downturn. Exit $224M yields ~29% upside after dilution.

Preference Stack Risk

moderate

Funding Intensity

1470%

Total funding of $22M against assumed $150M valuation gives a 14.7% preferred stack, which is moderate but manageable unless exit value drops below $22M.

Dilution Risk

moderate

No recent raise in 8 years, but continued growth may necessitate future funding, likely causing 15-25% dilution over 24 months.

Secondary Liquidity

none

No secondary market data available; secondary trading has not been reported.
