Financing ladder & sequence gaps
Series B$25.0M · 2012

Stages are modeled from round size (public records carry no series label). No record for: Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A — the company may have raised it under a different exemption, merged it into an adjacent record, or skipped it. Sequence completeness: 25%.

Round size and date are reported; the stage label is inferred from round size (latest is Series B — a $15M–$40M round). Valuation is modeled from stage benchmarks scaled by the energy sector profile. Directional, not a quoted figure.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 2049 companies in Other Energy. Each bar is a median (the middle company, not an average — outliers don't skew it). Two yardsticks: real money raised (reported on Form D) and modeled value (our estimate est.). These are whole-sector medians across all stages, except the per-stage row.

Total raised — vs sector median (real $, all stages)▲ 7.3× above median
This company$25.0M
Sector median$3.4M
Latest round — vs other Series B rounds in sector (real $, this stage)▲ 1.3× above median
This company$25.0M
Sector median$19.1M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages)▲ 17× above median
This company$290.1M
Sector median$17.0M

Raised more than 84% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 92% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Series B) that last raised in the same ~3-year era, ranked by modeled value est. (not money raised). This is the exact set the analyst read compares against, so a like-for-like cohort is what makes "over/under-valued" meaningful. This company ranks #11 of 28.
