20 May, 2026Executive summary
Q1 2026 marked a strategic inflection point with deliberate cost reductions, strengthened balance sheet, and expansion of the enterprise pipeline, including new partnerships in the Microsoft ecosystem.
Revenue for Q1 2026 was $480,151, up from $296,256 in Q1 2025, driven by new and existing enterprise customers.
Net loss for Q1 2026 was $4.5 million ($0.28/share), compared to $4.34 million ($0.40/share) a year ago.
The company faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern without additional financing.
In April 2026, $4.2 million in bridge financing was secured to extend the operational runway and support ongoing enterprise engagements.
Financial highlights
Q1 2026 revenue increased 62% year-over-year to $480,151, with ARR rising to $1.9 million from $1.2 million.
Operating expenses were $5.0 million, mainly due to higher stock-based compensation.

Cash used in operations was $3.4 million, down from $5.4 million in Q1 2025; cash on hand at quarter-end was $1.2 million.

Outlook and guidance

Management expects approximately 71% of RPO to be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months.
