Last updated: July 3, 2026

Revenue grows to $204M with exit multiple converging to 3x, yielding 77% return before dilution; after 20% dilution and preference, net upside is 57%.
Multiple compresses to 1x due to incumbent threats and high capital intensity; exit valuation of $204M yields common equity value of $79M, a -71% return before dilution; after 20% dilution, -91%.
