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

Under-valued
  • Modeled value is 0.06× the median modeled value of Seed Manufacturing companies in 2022–2024 (161 peers) — value vs value, same stage and era.
At-risk
  • Last raise 2.1 yr ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 12 months.
  • Past due for a raise versus sector cadence — watch for distress or a bridge.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 3256 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) 2.5× above median
This company$5.1M
Sector median$2.0M
Latest round — vs other Seed rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 0.1× of median
This company$132K
Sector median$1.6M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 0.0× of median
This company$498K
Sector median$12.0M

Raised more than 68% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 2% 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 #161 of 161.
