About Me | My Site 1
Hello, I am Shelby. I am a Motion Designer and Illustrator, and I am a person who wants to use my creativity to bring happiness and joy to others through creative expression. My motivation for creation has always been driven by the desire to positively change people’s lives and help them through art, as it did for me growing up. I enjoy and partake in community in artistic conventions every year, partake in games fully immersed in creativity like D&D, and attend other community events like group dances. I cosplay as a hobby and have made my own props and costumes before, and have done so for the conventions mentioned earlier. Something about me that I think will be motivating to other artists is that I have and deal with ADHD, Dyspraxia, and SPD. If people can see that I can succeed despite the struggles these disorders cause, I hope I can be a sense of inspiration for others who deal with the same things. © 2025 by Shelby Parent.

As reported in public records reported — not modeled.
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.
The line shows cumulative reported funding over the period; + labels show new capital added between points when there is room. Toggle on-bar figures, plus the niche-peer and market averages, to read this company against its cohort. Benchmarks are modeled medians.
Stages are modeled from round size (public records carry no series label). No record for: Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D+ — the company may have raised it under a different exemption, merged it into an adjacent record, or skipped it. Sequence completeness: 14%.
Round size and date are reported; the stage label is inferred from round size (latest is Growth/Late — a round over $400M). Valuation is modeled from stage benchmarks scaled by the business services sector profile. Directional, not a quoted figure.
Not enough modeled valuation points to chart a trajectory.
Benchmarked against 2439 companies in Business Services. 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.
Raised more than 99% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 100% of peers (estimate).
A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Growth/Late) 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 #5 of 5.
