Earnout

Definição

An earnout is a portion of acquisition consideration paid only if the acquired company hits agreed post-close targets, such as revenue or retention milestones.

Como aparece na captação de recursos

Acquirers use earnouts to bridge valuation gaps; founders should treat earnout value as at-risk, since hitting targets inside another company is partly outside their control.

Perguntas frequentes

Are earnouts usually paid in full?

Often not; integration changes, resource decisions, and target design all affect outcomes, so negotiate objective metrics and control provisions.

How long do earnout periods run?

Commonly one to three years after closing.
