Financing ladder & sequence gaps
Series C$95.4M · 2011

Stages are modeled from round size (public records carry no series label). No record for: Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, Series B — the company may have raised it under a different exemption, merged it into an adjacent record, or skipped it. Sequence completeness: 20%.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 3257 companies in Manufacturing. 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)▲ 47× above median
This company$95.4M
Sector median$2.0M
Latest round — vs other Series C rounds in sector (real $, this stage)▲ 2.0× above median
This company$95.4M
Sector median$47.3M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages)▲ 90× above median
This company$1.1B
Sector median$12.0M

Raised more than 96% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 97% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Series C) 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 #3 of 21.
