Często zadawane pytania
What is the difference between participating and non-participating?
Non-participating investors choose preference or conversion; participating investors take the preference and then share in the remainder, double-dipping. The latter is off-market at early stages.
How do preferences affect founders in small exits?
In an exit near or below total capital raised, preferences can consume most proceeds, leaving common holders little; this is the hidden cost of overraising.
