Also, I doubt this is the case here, but it is possible that the company did a share split. We’ve seen quite a few crowdfunded companies do share splits before going public.
So, for example – if they did a 2-for-1 split, the new “$2.50/share” price might actually be equivalent for your own holdings, since in that situation you would now own twice as many shares.
I haven’t seen this much while a company is still private, but it does happen and is worth exploring or asking.
