Opal Five, Llc looks fair against its niche peers and is dormant on financing cadence.

Synthesized from the figures below est. — every claim rests on a number shown on this page. Valuation uses the extractive 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 1.46× the median modeled value of Seed Coal Mining companies in 2019–2021 (10 peers) — value vs value, same stage and era.
  • Within the normal band (146% of peer median) for its niche.
Dormant
  • Last raise 5.5 yr ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 11 months.
  • Only one round on record and long silent — often defunct, acquired, or gone quiet.

Procedural diagnosis est. — rule-based common-sense checks over the filing pattern, issuer name, activity cadence, and surfaced operating evidence.

Issuer-vehicle patternmedium confidence

Opal Five, Llc behaves more like a recurring private-offering issuer than a conventional venture-backed operating company.

Issuer structure
Company-like
No recurring-offering pattern strong enough to override normal financing interpretation.
Lifecycle
5.5 yr record
Peak capital year was 2020 with $4.0M across 1 filings.
Market position
ahead of 43% of Coal Mining peers
Capital scale is ahead of 43% of Coal Mining peers; modeled value is above 51% of peers by modeled value. Large capital with mid-pack modeled value can signal an issuer/program profile rather than operating-company growth.
Valuation reliability
Normal applicability
Stage/dilution valuation models are weakest when the issuer is broad-sector, recurring, or vehicle-like.
Operating evidence
Sparse
No clear CEO/founder/principal role is surfaced, so operating-company confidence is lower.
Data quality
Consistent
Canonical totals and visible filing detail are broadly aligned.
What triggered this
  • Legal name looks like an issuer vehicle rather than a product company.
  • No clearly named CEO/founder/principal role in the public records surfaced here.
  • No verified homepage on the profile yet.
  • Capital program peaked in 2020: $4.0M across 1 filings.
  • Largest single filing was $4.0M on 2020-12-14.
How to read the page
  • Read this less like a startup funding journey and more like a capital-raising program.
  • Stage-based valuation and peer labels have lower applicability for this pattern.
  • The more important signal is lifecycle: repeated filings ended years ago, so current activity needs outside confirmation.

Amount raised vs valuation, by round

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 76 companies in Coal Mining. 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) 0.5× of median
This company$4.0M
Sector median$7.5M
Latest round — vs other Seed rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 1.6× above median
This company$4.0M
Sector median$2.4M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 1.0× above median
This company$17.3M
Sector median$16.5M

Raised more than 43% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 51% 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 #1 of 10.
