The Startup Exit Podcast with Fexingo: IPOs, Acquisitions, and Founder Liquidity Events
by Fexingo
Lucas and Luna examine the mechanics of startup liquidity events—IPOs, SPAC mergers, direct listings, and acquisitions—through the lens of recent filings, valuation history, and founder outcomes. Each episode starts with a specific deal: the pricing decision at an IPO roadshow, the negotiation dynamics of a term sheet, or the lockup expiration that defines a founder's final payout. They track the numbers that matter: share dilution, insider participation, valuation step-ups, and the real multiples that investors demand at each stage. Lucas brings the journalistic rigor—company filings, SEC comments, historical precedents—while Luna focuses on the founder's perspective: how much control they retain, how they time their exit, and what liquidity actually means for their personal balance sheet. Together, they avoid the cheerleading common in startup media and instead ask hard questions: Did this deal serve the founders or the VCs? What does the secondary market tell us about the company's
