Dataminr competitors

Dataminr's main competitor is Palantir, an already public company that is currently traded on the NYSE with a market cap of $31 billion and revenue of $1.9 billion, giving it a Valuation/Revenue multiple of 16X. We buy Dataminr shares with a multiplier of 2-3 times more profit. At the same time, Palantir's revenue growth rate = 23%, and Dataminr = 30-40%. This makes buying Dataminr shares at the current price a profitable and safe investment opportunity.

Investment attractiveness of Dataminr

• Huge and fast-growing market
• Dataminr has already taken a leading position in many areas
• Practical application of all new advances in AI
• Large clients with whom we have been interacting for many years
• Irrationally large discount on shares due to market conditions
• Dataminr has never disclosed the size of its revenue; there is only official information from Deloitte that during the period 2017-20 the company grew at a rate of 35% per year. According to various estimates, for 2023 the revenue will range from $160 to 230 million.

Dataminr planned to go public in 2023, but had to be postponed due to the crisis. We expect an IPO in 2024 with a return for investors of 50-100% per annum.

Features of venture investments 

• The average duration of an investor's stay in a project is about five years. This period is unpredictable and cannot be predetermined.
• You can invest in a deal at any time as long as it is available on the Marketplace and is not Sold Out.
• An 'exit' from a transaction is possible only after the company's shares are listed on the stock exchange for trading.
• Venture investments are generally high-risk, but also highly profitable if the shares are successfully listed on the stock exchange. 
   

— What is Pre-IPO?
Pre-IPO (Pre-Initial Public Offering) refers to investing in a company at a late stage of its development before its shares are listed on a public exchange. Investors gain access to the business well ahead of the IPO or an M&A transaction, typically at a valuation lower than the eventual public market price.

— How is Pre-IPO different from IPO?
At IPO, shares immediately trade on the stock exchange and become liquid. Pre-IPO is a venture-stage investment: shares are not yet publicly traded, and the holding period is usually 1–5 years until the company goes public.

— Why do companies raise capital at the Pre-IPO stage?
They seek additional funding to accelerate growth prior to a listing, strengthen their balance sheet, expand product lines, or enter new markets.

— How is share price and valuation determined at Pre-IPO?
Pricing is based on the company’s financing rounds (Series C, Series D, etc.) and valuations set by venture capital firms and institutional investors. On a marketplace, pricing may either follow the latest round or reflect average levels from secondary market transactions.

— How can I participate in Pre-IPO via Regolith?
You select a company on the platform and submit an application. Your investment is allocated into the corresponding trust series linked to that Pre-IPO, making you a beneficiary of that series.

— How is the transaction structured legally?
The investor transfers funds and signs a set of agreements (subscription/participation agreement, trust series joinder, etc.). Shares are held by the trust, while the investor is recognized as its beneficiary.

— Where are the shares recorded if I invest through the platform?
Shares are held within the trust structure. The trust is the legal owner, and you are the beneficiary of the respective series.

— How is my participation and ownership confirmed?
Your personal account provides access to key documents: the series participation agreement, trust declaration, and asset specification. These confirm your beneficiary status.

— Can I verify that Regolith actually participates in the deal?
Yes. Your account contains supporting documents for each trust series, detailing the deal structure and ownership arrangements.

— What is the minimum investment amount?
The minimum is shown on each deal page. On average, it ranges from $150 to $850 depending on the company.

— What is the typical investment horizon?
Generally 12–36 months, until IPO or M&A. The exact timing cannot be predetermined.

— When and how can I exit the investment?
Exit is only possible at a liquidity event — IPO or strategic sale (M&A). At that point, shares are sold and proceeds distributed to investors.

— What fees apply?
• Entry fee: 5% at the time of purchase
• Exit fee: 20% of profit (success fee)
• No management or exit-only fees apply

— Do I receive dividends before IPO?
No. Most Pre-IPO companies reinvest profits into growth. Investor returns are realized solely through capital appreciation at IPO or sale.

— What risks are involved in Pre-IPO investments?
Pre-IPO is a venture-stage asset class. Key risks include:
• IPO delay or cancellation
• Downward revision of valuation
• Low liquidity on the secondary market
• Market-wide or macroeconomic downturns

— Can I know in advance how much I will earn?
No. Returns depend on valuation at IPO/M&A and market conditions. Potential upside can be 2–5x, but there is also risk of capital loss.

— What if the IPO is postponed or cancelled?
You remain a shareholder. In case of cancellation, exit may still occur via strategic sale (M&A) or by holding shares until a future listing.

— What if the valuation declines?
Returns may be significantly below expectations, or the investment may result in a loss.

— What if the company goes bankrupt?
Pre-IPO is a high-risk venture investment. In the event of bankruptcy, capital may be lost entirely as shares become worthless.

— How likely is a successful IPO?
Venture statistics show that on average, only 1 in 10 companies reaches IPO or strategic sale. Many remain private or cease operations. This dynamic explains both the potential for outsized returns and the elevated risk profile.

— Examples of Pre-IPO value growth

SpaceX
In 2022–2023, SpaceX shares on the private market were available around $60 each. By 2025, secondary market prices reached $237 — a ~4x increase (+295%). Importantly, SpaceX has not yet conducted an IPO, leaving further potential upside.

Circle (USDC issuer)
In Dec 2024, Circle shares traded at $24. By June 2025, its IPO priced at $31, and shares surged to $123 on day one, later peaking at $290. As of Sep 2025, they trade near $131. From $24 to $131, that’s +446% (over 5x).

Example with Regolith fees
An investor placing $100,000 at $24 per share would have received ~4,166 shares. Selling at $123 yields ~$512,000 (+412% gross). After 5% entry fee ($5,000) and 20% success fee ($82,484), net proceeds would be ~$425,000 (+325%).

These examples illustrate how Pre-IPO works: while growth can be exponential, actual results depend on company fundamentals, entry timing, and market conditions.
