You forgot to account for the 100+ employees. The liquidity event would have helped their families as well.

I won’t disclose details out of respect for the other party, but no, not necessarily. As I wrote, it was a good deal for the founders and some investors, but not for everyone, including employees. There are many ways to structure a sale, and unfortunately not all of them split the cake equally.

  • At 9 figures I’m sure the founder can trickle down a few for everyone including employers after the sale.
