Cardinal Holdings LLC looks over-valued against its niche peers and is quiet on financing cadence.

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

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

Over-valued
  • Modeled value is 3.03× the median modeled value of Pre-Seed AI / ML companies in 2025–2027 (58 peers) — value vs value, same stage and era.
Quiet
  • Last raise 18 mo ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 11 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

Cardinal Holdings 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
1.5 yr record
Peak capital year was 2025 with $619K across 1 filings.
Market position
ahead of 69% of AI / ML peers
Capital scale is ahead of 69% of AI / ML peers; modeled value is above 67% 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
Some evidence
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
  • 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.
  • Capital program peaked in 2025: $619K across 1 filings.
  • Largest single filing was $619K on 2025-01-13.
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.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 2067 companies in AI / ML. 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) 0.1× of median
This company$619K
Sector median$4.7M
Latest round — vs other Pre-Seed rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 1.8× above median
This company$619K
Sector median$350K
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 0.1× of median
This company$2.4M
Sector median$27.9M

Raised more than 69% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 67% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Pre-Seed) 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 #10 of 58.
