Investment thesis
Growth-phase business — story-led; valuation sensitive to momentum.
Why interesting: Trading is scaling; acquirers paying for trajectory get disproportionate leverage.
Why risky: Price often leads fundamentals; dependency on founder often high.

Owner dependency

55/100

30/100
Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.
