IV.b · Footnotes

Where each number comes from.

01

Market size anchor

Apex Group is the services-heavy incumbent comp. Private, no public filing, estimated $1-2B revenue. We're using $1B as the conservative floor. Odin's £50m ARR target represents ~5% of that. We don't need to match Apex's headcount or geographic footprint to capture significant value. That's the point of building tech-native.

02

AngelList comp

AngelList peaked at ~40× ARR in 2021-2022. Zero-interest-rate anomaly, not a usable benchmark. Current market equivalent for a comparable business is 15-20× ARR, and that multiple requires genuine network effects, software-dominant revenue, and US scale. Not assumed by default.

03

Revenue quality and exit multiples

Odin's revenue is semi-recurring today. Stickier than transactional, not yet fully contracted SaaS. That puts us above pure services multiples (1-2×) but below pure SaaS with network effects (15-20×). We use three exit scenarios: Conservative 6× (defensible today, no heroic assumptions), Mid 12× (partial execution on AI and network effects), Optimistic 20× (requires everything in the next section to be true). All exit valuations on this page use the conservative 6×.

04

What needs to be true for 20×

  1. 01AI-native operations: fund admin, compliance, reporting are substantially automated; marginal cost of a new fund approaches zero.
  2. 02Software-majority revenue: platform fees dominate over services; investors can underwrite a SaaS multiple on the blended business.
  3. 03Network effects are demonstrable: LP and GP density on platform creates lock-in and compounding deal flow.
  4. 04US traction at scale: meaningfully grown AUM and network density there.

05

Dilution

We assume 20% dilution per round (Series A and Series B). Option grants are made at hire and reviewed based on performance.
