Liquidation Model - Waterfall Analysis
Educate employees, founders, and others in how liquidation preferences affect financial distribution in exit scenarios
Further information
"The waterfall analysis takes into account a variety of exit scenarios and shows how liquidation preferences can affect where the proceeds of an exit go. This data can be used for both employees and founders to better understand how they can be affected by things such as stacked liquidation preferences over the course of their company’s financing history." (Michael Dempsey, May 13 2015, )
"While this type of granular data may be hard to come by for employees at later-stage companies, I believe that things like my model and posts like Heidi’s are a great step towards better transparency, education, and awareness of some of the more nuanced parts of our venture capital and startup ecosystems." (Michael Dempsey, May 13 2015, )
