Data Quality
Data: LowThe candidate's equity is likely to be underwater given the stale $350M valuation, severe preference stack of $139M, and high capital intensity.
Last updated: July 19, 2026
Cultivated salmon gains widespread acceptance and Wildtype maintains its first-mover advantage; exit multiple holds at 40x on $14.6M revenue, yielding $584M exit vs $350M entry, net of 20% dilution.
Multiple compresses to 10x as capital-intensive business faces competition and regulatory headwinds; exit valuation $146M after dilution, well below entry.
Exit value falls below $139M total funding; common stock recovers nothing after 1x non-participating preferred liquidation preference.
Preference Stack Risk
severeFunding Intensity
3970%Total funding of $139M represents 39.7% of the assumed entry valuation, giving preferred shareholders a large liquidation preference over common.
Dilution Risk
highHigh cash burn likely requires another round within 24 months, estimated to dilute common stock by 15-25%.
Secondary Liquidity
noneNo secondary market transactions identified; all trading would be informal and highly illiquid.
