WATCH

No private raise reported in over two years; last one ($43M sold)Jan 2, 2020

Read from SEC 8-Ks (bankruptcy, default, delisting, restatement, impairment, restructuring), cash runway in annual reports, Form D raises and the 30-day hiring trend. A prompt to look closer, not a credit rating.

Hiring

No public job board on Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby, so hiring isn't tracked for this company yet.
