Workpay presents a compelling equity opportunity with strong upside potential, driven by its specialized focus on the rapidly growing African HR and payroll market.

Last updated: March 10, 2026

Bull (35%)+400%

Aggressive market penetration and successful expansion into new financial services drive Workpay's revenue to $35M ARR by 2028, justifying a premium 10x multiple for a $350M valuation, representing a 400% upside from the current estimated valuation of $60M.

Base (40%)+150%

Workpay maintains its strong growth trajectory, reaching $15M ARR by 2028, and a consistent 10x revenue multiple leads to a $150M valuation, providing a 150% upside from the current estimated valuation of $60M.

Bear (25%)-70%

Increased competition and slower market adoption cause revenue growth to stall at $6M ARR by 2028, and a reduced 3x multiple results in an $18M valuation, leading to a -70% decline in company valuation and minimal to no return for common stock due to liquidation preferences.

Preference Stack Risk

high

Investors hold $14M in liquidation preferences. In an exit below $14M, common shareholders would receive nothing.

Dilution Risk

high

As a Series A company, Workpay will likely require multiple additional funding rounds, leading to further dilution of employee equity.

Secondary Liquidity

none

Given Workpay's stage and size, there is currently no active secondary market for its shares.
