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

Fair
  • Modeled value is 1.00× the median modeled value of Series A Climate / Cleantech companies in 2022–2024 (15 peers) — value vs value, same stage and era.
  • Within the normal band (100% of peer median) for its niche.
At-risk
  • Last raise 24 mo ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 9 months.
  • Past due for a raise versus sector cadence — watch for distress or a bridge.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 207 companies in Climate / Cleantech. 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) 3.9× above median
This company$31.8M
Sector median$8.1M
Latest round — vs other Series A rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 1.8× above median
This company$13.1M
Sector median$7.5M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 1.1× above median
This company$64.0M
Sector median$59.8M

Raised more than 85% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 71% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Series A) 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 #8 of 15.
