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 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) 5.9× above median
This company$36.9M
Sector median$6.3M
Latest round — vs other Series B rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 0.9× of median
This company$17.5M
Sector median$20.0M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 3.2× above median
This company$108.8M
Sector median$34.4M

Raised more than 87% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 81% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Series B) 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 #11 of 13.
