Amount raised vs valuation, by round

Solid bars are reported offering amounts reported; hatched bars are the modeled post-money valuation est. — both on one shared scale so you can read raise-vs-worth at each round directly. Use the toggles to overlay data labels and the niche-peer / market average value lines.

Stages are modeled from round size (public records carry no series label). No record for: Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C — the company may have raised it under a different exemption, merged it into an adjacent record, or skipped it. Sequence completeness: 17%.

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) 26× above median
This company$125.0M
Sector median$4.7M
Latest round — vs other Series D+ rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 0.7× of median
This company$125.0M
Sector median$174.5M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 52× above median
This company$1.5B
Sector median$27.9M

Raised more than 98% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 98% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Series D+) 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 11.
