How Startups Use Earnouts to Bridge Valuation Gaps
Episode 98 of The Series A Show. Lucas and Luna dig into earnout agreements—a deal structure gaining traction when founders and VCs disagree on valuation. Using the recent Figma acquisition of a vibe-coding app team as a case, they explain how earnouts work, why they're replacing SAFEs in some pre-seed rounds, and what the surge in Palantir (up 17% this week) says about the market's appetite for high-growth bets. Practical for any founder negotiating their first term sheet.
