California Ethanol & Power, LLC looks under-valued against its niche peers and is quiet on financing cadence.
Raised $17M across 22 disclosed rounds, last modeled as Series A (a $4.0M–$15M round).
Modeled value is 0.08× the median modeled value of Series A Other Energy companies in 2022–2024 (105 peers) — value vs value, same stage and era.
Valued on the energy profile — its sector's growth and survival benchmarks differ from the market default, so the same raise is worth more or less here.
Last raise 19 mo ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 12 months.
Latest round stepped up 6.0× from the prior — scaling.
Synthesized from the figures below est. — every claim rests on a number shown on this page. Valuation uses the energy 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 0.08× the median modeled value of Series A Other Energy companies in 2022–2024 (105 peers) — value vs value, same stage and era.
Quiet
Last raise 19 mo ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 12 months.
Slightly overdue versus sector cadence.
Procedural diagnosis est. — rule-based common-sense checks over the filing pattern, issuer name, activity cadence, and surfaced operating evidence.
Issuer-vehicle patternmedium confidence
California Ethanol & Power, LLC behaves more like a recurring private-offering issuer than a conventional venture-backed operating company.
Issuer structure
Company-like
No recurring-offering pattern strong enough to override normal financing interpretation.
Lifecycle
19.1 yr record
Peak capital year was 2007 with $5.6M across 1 filings.
Market position
ahead of 78% of Other Energy peers
Capital scale is ahead of 78% of Other Energy peers; modeled value is above 14% 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
Normal 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
Needs review
Row-level filing totals differ from canonical totals, so amendment/superseded filtering should be checked.
What triggered this
Legal name looks like an issuer vehicle rather than a product company.
No clearly named CEO/founder/principal role in the public records surfaced here.
No verified homepage on the profile yet.
Capital program peaked in 2007: $5.6M across 1 filings.
Largest single filing was $5.6M on 2007-06-01.
Filing rows sum to $19.0M, while canonical raised total is $16.7M; likely amendments/superseded rows are mixed into the detail view.
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.
Canonical filtering should be tightened before using row-level totals for diligence.

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)▲ 4.9× above median
This company$16.7M

Latest round — vs other Series A rounds in sector (real $, this stage)▼ 0.1× of median
This company$750K

Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages)▼ 0.2× of median
This company$2.7M
Sector median$17.0M
Raised more than 78% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 14% 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 valueest. (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 #101 of 105.
Stage is inferred from round size est., not reported on the filing — a round's dollar size maps to a bucket: Pre-Seed <$1.0M · Seed $1.0M–$4.0M · Series A $4.0M–$15M · Series B $15M–$40M · Series C $40M–$100M · Series D+ $100M–$400M · Growth/Late >$400M.
