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

Fair
  • Modeled value is 0.96× the median modeled value of Seed Hardware / Semiconductors companies in 2022–2024 (8 peers) — value vs value, same stage and era.
  • Within the normal band (96% of peer median) for its niche.
Dormant
  • Last raise 3.1 yr ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 16 months.
  • Only one round on record and long silent — often defunct, acquired, or gone quiet.

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.

The line shows cumulative reported funding over the period; + labels show new capital added between points when there is room. Toggle on-bar figures, plus the niche-peer and market averages, to read this company against its cohort. Benchmarks are modeled medians.

Not enough modeled valuation points to chart a trajectory.

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) 0.2× of median

Raised more than 63% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 58% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (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 #5 of 8.
