Analyst read est. — computed against this company's niche peers in the same era. Inputs shown; not a quoted figure.

Quiet

  • Slightly overdue versus sector cadence.

Procedural diagnosis est. — rule-based common-sense checks over the filing pattern, issuer name, activity cadence, and surfaced operating evidence.

Recurring offering issuermedium confidence

Zero Motorcycles Inc behaves more like a recurring private-offering issuer than a conventional venture-backed operating company.

Issuer structure
Program-like
Frequent filings and follow-ons read more like a securities offering program than discrete startup rounds.
Lifecycle
16.5 yr record
Peak capital year was 2021 with $265.3M across 6 filings.
Market position
ahead of 99% of Other peers
Capital scale is ahead of 99% of Other peers; modeled value is above 96% of peers by modeled value. Large capital with mid-pack modeled value can signal an issuer/program profile rather than operating-company growth.
Valuation reliability
Lower applicability
Stage/dilution valuation models are weakest when the issuer is broad-sector, recurring, or vehicle-like.
Operating evidence
Some evidence
No clear CEO/founder/principal role is surfaced, so operating-company confidence is lower.
Data quality
Needs review
Row-level filing totals differ from canonical totals, so amendment/superseded filtering should be checked.
What triggered this
  • 57 dated financing filings, averaging about 3 months apart.
  • Sector is still broad/Other, so operating comparables are weak.
  • No clearly named CEO/founder/principal role in the public records surfaced here.
  • Capital program peaked in 2021: $265.3M across 6 filings.
  • Largest single filing was $106.6M on 2021-12-22.
  • Filing rows sum to $593.5M, while canonical raised total is $446.3M; likely amendments/superseded rows are mixed into the detail view.
How to read the page
  • Read this less like a startup funding journey and more like a capital-raising program.
  • Stage-based valuation and peer labels have lower applicability for this pattern.
  • The more important signal is lifecycle: repeated filings ended years ago, so current activity needs outside confirmation.
  • Canonical filtering should be tightened before using row-level totals for diligence.

This issuer files recurring offerings, so the model treats stage labels as a loose sizing heuristic, not a clean VC ladder. The estimate anchors on reported filing amounts and dates, then applies benchmark dilution, survival, and markup assumptions. Directional, not a quoted figure.

How it compares to the market

Benchmarked against 25008 companies in Other. 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) 218× above median
This company$446.3M
Sector median$2.0M
Modeled value — vs sector median (estimate, all stages) 52× above median
This company$916.7M
Sector median$17.7M

Raised more than 99% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 96% of peers (estimate).
