 has been estimated to be zero. The Company’s assumptions may change for future grants.For awards granted prior to the Company’s direct listing, because there was no public market for the Company’s common stock, the board of directors determined the fair value of the shares of common stock by considering a number of objective and subjective factors including the results of third-party valuations, the Company’s actual operating and financial performance, market conditions and performance of comparable publicly traded companies, developments and milestones in the Company, the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event and transactions involving the Company’s preferred or common shares, among other factors. The fair value was determined in accordance with applicable elements of the practice aid issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.Restricted Stock Unit AwardsThe grant date fair value of RSUs is estimated based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Prior to the Company’s direct listing in July 2023, RSUs granted by the Company vested upon the satisfaction of both service-based vesting conditions and liquidity event-related performance vesting conditions. The liquidity event-related performance vesting conditions were achieved upon the consummation of the Company's direct listing. Stock-based compensation related to such awards was recorded in full, as of the date of the Company’s direct listing. Since the Company’s direct listing in July 2023, the Company has only granted RSUs that vest upon the satisfaction of a service-based vesting condition and the compensation expense for these RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis from the date of grant over the requisite service period.The Company has granted founder performance-based restricted stock units (“founder PRSUs”) that contain a market condition in the form of future stock price targets. The grant date fair value of the founder PRSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model and the Company estimates the derived service period of the founder PRSUs. The grant date fair value of founder PRSUs containing a market condition is recorded as stock-based compensation over the derived service period. Provided that each founder continues to be employed by the Company, either directly or as a non-employee consultant, stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the derived service period, regardless of whether the stock price goals are achieved. If the stock price goals are met sooner than the derived service period, any unrecognized compensation expenses related to the founder PRSUs will be expensed during the period in which the stock price targets are achieved.WarrantsThe Company assesses whether
