Grounded in: “You are a venture analyst

We're Robinhood for pre-IPO startups. Everyone can invest $100.

We help everyone invest in startups that they care about. We believe that when all Americans can invest in innovation, the world will be a better place. And soon, our dream will become a reality. Thanks to the JOBS Act, everyone — not just the wealthy — can invest as little as $100 in the startups they care about. Not only does this open up the pool of investors, and increase the amount of great ideas that get funded, but it allows startups to grow an army of passionate investors who truly want to see them succeed. Second tier VC’s will become obsolete as startups tap their lead users and customers for quick early investments.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 1063 companies in Fintech. 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) 5.8× above median
This company$24.7M
Sector median$4.3M
Latest round — vs other Series A rounds in sector (real $, this stage) 0.3× of median
This company$2.0M
Sector median$6.1M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 0.2× of median
This company$9.6M
Sector median$45.1M

Raised more than 94% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 72% of peers (estimate).

Niche peers — same stage & era

A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Series A) 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 #31 of 32.
