How Founders Use Structured Secondaries Before an IPO
In this episode of The Startup Exit Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how founders are using structured secondary sales before an IPO to lock in early liquidity without tanking the valuation. They break down the mechanics of a pre-IPO secondary, why investors like Coatue and Sequoia are buying these blocks, and how companies like Palantir and Airbnb used them. With Palantir up 6% this week at $134, they ask: does a hot stock make secondaries easier or harder? Plus, a quick look at how the Uber-Delivery Hero deal reshapes exit strategy for European tech.
