Not in this case, even the CEO would have walked away empty-handed. Too many funding rounds had transpired with ever-increasing multipliers on the liquidation preferences.

Still, I think there's an argument that had he taken the buyout, he personally could have argued that he delivered for the investors and that would have gotten him to round 2.

Liquidation preferences should have been reset.

This is a perfect case of VC being too greedy and lost it all because of greed.
