Deep Dive Liquidity

This sub-chapter provides you with a deeper understanding of how investors align with steward-ownership financing to support a diverse range of companies. It explores various approaches to designing a “structured exit” or other alternatives to a traditional exit.

Short Summary

• In steward-ownership-aligned financing, liquidity for investors is not achieved by selling the company as a whole – like in a traditional exit – but through a variety of “structured exits”.
• This opens up opportunities for a wider variety of companies, not just those aiming to become unicorns.
• A “structured exit” – the repayment of the investors through the company – can be structured quite differently depending on the situation and needs of the company and investors. The different options provide entrepreneurs with a lot of flexibility to fit a solution that works for them.
