How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 207 companies in Climate / Cleantech. 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) 76× above median
This company$610.2M
Sector median$8.1M
Latest round — vs other Series D+ rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 2.7× above median
This company$335.4M
Sector median$126.1M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 86× above median
This company$5.1B
Sector median$59.7M

Raised more than 94% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 94% 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.
