Bright Silicon Technologies, Inc. looks under-valued against its niche peers and is active on financing cadence.

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

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

Under-valued
  • Modeled value is 0.44× the median modeled value of Series A Hardware / Semiconductors companies in 2025–2027 (5 peers) — value vs value, same stage and era.
Active
  • Last raise 5 mo ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 16 months.
  • Raising on or ahead of the sector's normal rhythm.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 130 companies in Hardware / Semiconductors. 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) 1.7× above median
This company$14.0M
Sector median$8.3M
Latest round — vs other Series A rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 0.8× of median
This company$4.0M
Sector median$5.0M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 0.4× of median
This company$10.8M
Sector median$26.4M

Raised more than 79% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 62% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Series A) 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 #5 of 5.
