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.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 41 companies in Data / Analytics. 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) 55× above median
This company$69.1M
Sector median$1.2M
Latest round — vs other Series C rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 0.7× of median
This company$50.0M
Sector median$67.5M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 69× above median
This company$1.1B
Sector median$16.0M

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 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.

Not enough valued peers in this cohort to chart positioning.
