U.S. Patent No. 12,243,130 B2, titled "Data Interpolation Platform for Generating Predictive and Interpolated Pricing Data," grants Caplight exclusive rights to a proprietary method for estimating private company prices and valuations that includes aggregating private market data, generating price estimates, and visualizing them through an interactive interface.
