Synthesized from the figures below est. — every claim rests on a number shown on this page. Valuation uses the technology sector profile.

Amount raised vs valuation, by round

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 21302 companies in Other Technology. 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 22% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 15% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Pre-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 #214 of 975.
