FY2019–FY2022 · from SEC filings · hover any figure for its sourceFigures as reported by the issuer in the filing shown on hover. Each year’s pill shows the assurance level of its filed statements — audited, reviewed (CPA review, less than an audit), or unaudited, as the filing’s own report or certification states it. A dashed pill marked * is inferred instead: the SEC minimum for an offering that size, which the issuer may have exceeded. No pill means we couldn’t tell. Headcount is the filing’s point-in-time count, not a year-end average. Manually corrected figures are marked “Corrected”.
Valuation over rounds
Pre-money — the valuation set before each round’s money came inBlue bars are the pre-money valuation the company stated for a priced round.
Share price over rounds
Disclosed sales come from the issuer's own filings (prior-offering lines, audited-statement notes) and are amount ÷ securities sold. A down round is a firm point more than 25 % below the previous firm point of the same share class on a comparable basis; the comparison ignores unverified and year-only lines.

From the company's SEC filings: share counts per class, each class's voting and conversion terms, and the holders of 20% or more that Form C requires (officers and 10%+ holders on Form 1-A). Filings name only large holders, so most owners — including crowd investors — are not listed, and a holder's percentage may be of its own class rather than of the whole company. Prices and crowd share counts are in today's share terms — adjusted for splits and conversions since they were sold. Hover a figure for its filing.

Mike Williston is both a co-founder and the CEO of Satellite Displays. He is a results-driven entrepreneur who thrives in early stage startups. As CEO, he is responsible for taking an idea to reality in his quest to transform the way we communicate. Satellite Displays' created Badger, the world's first closed captioning smart badge that converts speech-to-text and translations in real-time. Badger can also translate in 50+ languages. His vision for the company is what excites his team to elevate to the next level. After completing his MBA from Monmouth University, he jumped right into the startup world at Compliance Wave. Here he was the first employee and Director of Lead Generation. Developing, creating and executing ideas is what gets Mike up in the morning, and if you’re in the room with him, you’ll want to learn more and participate in the journey. He makes problem solving fun for those who work with him. He enjoys building exceptional teams while helping everyone hit their personal goals. His family means everything to him, and their dinner conversations range from life goals to sports to business. He developed his competitive edge from playing sports growing up. Outside of work, you can still find him staying active in the gym or playing competitive basketball. And if it’s a windy day, you can find him in the ocean kitesurfing… his favorite type of “board meeting.”

Mr. Russell Hearn is an entrepreneur. Building teams and growing businesses is his passion, along with his passion and skill in mentoring and guiding people to much higher levels of performance and satisfaction than they thought possible. In 1983, Mr. Hearn founded Russell B. Hearn and Associates, Inc., which he steadily grew through carefully-planned acquisitions into a network of regional Audiology clinics in Western Pennsylvania. Mr. Hearn grew his business from zero to the leading regional company and forged strategic partnerships with other Audiology companies. The coalition attracted a Venture Partner, which infused capital for a partial buyout and future acquisitions, and the group formed Hearing Healthcare Management, Inc. in 1999. He was an equity partner in HHM and served as an Acquisition, Integration & Operations Executive and Board Member. As in all his roles before and since, Mr. Hearn approached the growth and success of HHM in a highly strategic fashion, using his passion for developing people to their potential as a basis for his planning. Hearn’s recent position as a Director of Operations at DEMANT, one of the world’s leading hearing healthcare companies, spanning all areas of hearing care, from diagnostic instruments and traditional hearing aids to cochlear implants and bone- anchored hearing solutions.

SEC filings
About this data. Figures are compiled from public sources — SEC EDGAR filings (Form C, C-AR, 1-A, 1-K) and funding-platform pages — and may be delayed, incomplete, or restated by the issuer. Financial statements are as reported by the issuer; each year is labeled with its assurance level (audited / reviewed / unaudited). A valuation cap is the conversion ceiling of a SAFE or convertible note, not an agreed company valuation; post-money figures are computed as pre-money plus amount raised and are not a traded price. Crowdonomics is not a broker-dealer, funding portal, or investment adviser; nothing here is investment advice or an offer to sell securities. Verify all figures against the linked EDGAR filings.
