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

Fair

At-risk
  • Last raise 4.0 yr ago; this sector typically re-raises about every 10 months.
  • Past due for a raise versus sector cadence — watch for distress or a bridge.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 929 companies in Telecommunications. 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) 18× above median
This company$69.5M
Sector median$4.0M
Latest round — vs other Series B rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 0.7× of median
This company$12.5M
Sector median$17.5M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 4.8× above median
This company$137.1M
Sector median$28.3M

Raised more than 90% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 78% 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 #10 of 21.
