Use Case on Private Company Liquidity Events:

Financing vs Sale

James holds 150,000 shares of an exciting pre-IPO technology company and is looking for $500,000 of liquidity. He bought his shares for $2.00 per share and they are currently worth $10.00 per share. James can either sell 66,667 of his shares to raise enough money to pay taxes and put $500,000 in the bank or he can use Liquid’s solution.

Liquid’s solution benefits James as long as he believes the company will be worth $13.30 or more per share post-IPO.
