That’s insane. If you’re a founder and you own 20-90% of a 30m dollar seed stage company, you’ve essentially ballooned your paper net worth to a very nice number. A number that would be equivalent to a healthy acquisition. Obviously the founders can’t really dump those shares on the secondary market but it just feels weird for seed stage companies to be worth that much.
