$6.8 million issuer-reported$23.50 original offering price
The issuer gives a $23.50 original offer price and reports $6.8 million raised. The rounded two-cent split-adjusted FAQ figure is not used for calculation.
What the records do not establish
- The reviewed primary sources establish early capital and the IPO; they do not provide a complete priced private-round schedule.
- The issuer’s rounded split-adjusted IPO price is unsuitable as an exact pre-IPO input.
- No seed-to-current result is calculated without a verified private share price and full share-basis chain.
