Whats the point of giving an angel investor equity if you agree on a multiple return buyout years later?
lets say an angel investor invests $100,000 for 30% of a startup company. Before taking the investment the startup and investor agree on a buyout after 3 years for 3X the investment, so $300k. So what would be the point of offering the investor 30% of the company? Whether its 1% or 49% the agreement would still state after 3 years the investor would walk away with $300k.
I guess the equity would be for insurance in case the startup cant afford the buyout?
Do startups generally pay 30% rev share or is is 30% only if the company is sold?
