How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 1371 companies in Computers. 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) 1.5× above median
This company$2.8M
Sector median$1.9M
Latest round — vs other Seed rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 0.1× of median
This company$100K
Sector median$1.7M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 1.4× above median
This company$46.3M
Sector median$33.0M

Raised more than 59% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 56% 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 #41 of 60.
