BlueCava, Inc. has raised $85M over 26 rounds; too few niche peers to rank its valuation yet.

Synthesized from the figures below est. — every claim rests on a number shown on this page. Valuation uses the technology sector profile.

Analyst read est. — computed against this company's niche peers in the same era. Inputs shown; not a quoted figure.

Program ended
  • Last raise 10.9 yr ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 13 months.
  • For a recurring offering issuer, long silence usually means the offering program is inactive or ended; it is not proof the legal entity is defunct.

Procedural diagnosis est. — rule-based common-sense checks over the filing pattern, issuer name, activity cadence, and surfaced operating evidence.

Recurring offering issuermedium confidence

BlueCava, Inc. behaves more like a recurring private-offering issuer than a conventional venture-backed operating company.

Issuer structure
Program-like
Frequent filings and follow-ons read more like a securities offering program than discrete startup rounds.
Lifecycle
15.8 yr record
Peak capital year was 2012 with $27.1M across 10 filings.
Market position
ahead of 96% of Other Technology peers
Capital scale is ahead of 96% of Other Technology peers; modeled value is above 87% of peers by modeled value. Large capital with mid-pack modeled value can signal an issuer/program profile rather than operating-company growth.
Valuation reliability
Lower applicability
Stage/dilution valuation models are weakest when the issuer is broad-sector, recurring, or vehicle-like.
Operating evidence
Sparse
No clear CEO/founder/principal role is surfaced, so operating-company confidence is lower.
Data quality
Consistent
Canonical totals and visible filing detail are broadly aligned.
What triggered this
  • 27 dated financing filings, averaging about 2 months apart.
  • No clearly named CEO/founder/principal role in the public records surfaced here.
  • No verified homepage on the profile yet.
  • Capital program peaked in 2012: $27.1M across 10 filings.
  • Largest single filing was $10.1M on 2013-07-11.
How to read the page
  • Read this less like a startup funding journey and more like a capital-raising program.
  • Stage-based valuation and peer labels have lower applicability for this pattern.
  • The more important signal is lifecycle: repeated filings ended years ago, so current activity needs outside confirmation.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 21292 companies in Other Technology. 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) 27× above median
This company$85.0M
