How founders sold for $460M and got $0
FanDuel sold for $460M.
Founders got nothing.
Liquidation preferences.
Investors get paid first.
If their preferences exceed the exit, founders get wiped out.
And it gets worse with:
• 2x / 3x multiples
• Participating preferred (double dip)
Most founders don’t think about this when signing term sheets.
They should.
