The €5.93M pre-money price sits within the range of European seed and early-stage software valuations we could find (PitchBook: seed median €5.0M in Q3 2025; early-stage SaaS median €8.5M in Q1 2025), but measured against the company's own stated recurring revenue of €180K it is about 33 times revenue, against a private-SaaS median of 5.3x (SaaS Capital, January 2025).</span></span></span></p>

Biggest gap: the company's headline of €180K annual recurring revenue does not reconcile with the €9,227 of revenue actually booked in the first quarter of 2026, and no document in the pack bridges the two.</span></span></span></p>

Method: the company's own 2029 plans (€6.26M revenue in the platform's financial plan; €12M recurring revenue in the deck) multiplied by recorded software sale multiples — 3.8x revenue (Aventis Advisors SaaS M&A median, 2025) to 7.5x (Bessemer public-cloud index, 2025) — divided by the €7.33M post-money price. Note: Companisto's certificate structure deducts 20% of your money in fees before it is invested and takes 15% of gains above 6% a year — see the returns picture.</span></span></span></p>
