Optionality
mixed, leaning constrained — a small early institutional stake (~$11M, Khosla Ventures-led, closed ~2018-2022) rather than the large-and-recent VC dependence typical of frontier-lab peers; the long gap since any new funding round plus continuous subscription revenue (disputed range ~$4.8-35M/yr, ~25% of users paying) suggest the company has been running substantially on its own subscription income for years, pushing toward mixed per the wave recipe's carve-out. Still a private company with original institutional investors presumably holding board seats, so not called free; confidence low given how thin the sourcing is on actual governance/control terms.
