How to Protect Founder Equity Through Funding Challenges in 2027?
About this session
Cheap venture funding has evaporated, leaving founders facing demanding structural terms. According to PitchBook deal terms data, over 25% of late-stage financings have priced flat or down, while Cooley's Venture Financing Report recorded liquidation preference multiples above 1.0x climbing to 22% in growth rounds. Investors holding dry powder are enforcing aggressive participating preferences, redemption schedules, and board vetoes that strip founder control. For leadership teams navigating single-digit runway, survival requires understanding which covenants preserve long-term agency and which turn founders into salaried operators on their own cap tables.
