Nextstep Robotics, Inc. looks fair against its niche peers and is at-risk on financing cadence.

Synthesized from the figures below est. — every claim rests on a number shown on this page. Valuation uses the robotics sector profile.

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

Fair
  • Modeled value is 0.98× the median modeled value of Pre-Seed Robotics companies in 2022–2024 (18 peers) — value vs value, same stage and era.
  • Within the normal band (98% of peer median) for its niche.
At-risk
  • Last raise 2.5 yr ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 14 months.
  • Past due for a raise versus sector cadence — watch for distress or a bridge.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 327 companies in Robotics. 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) 0.3× of median
This company$1.6M
Sector median$6.3M
Latest round — vs other Pre-Seed rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 1.3× above median
This company$400K
Sector median$318K
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 0.1× of median
This company$2.2M
Sector median$34.4M

Raised more than 54% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 44% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Pre-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 #10 of 18.
