Help me think through exit optionality as founder of [COMPANY]. I want a memo covering: Current state: ownership, control provisions, board seats, drag along, ROFR Realistic exit paths at [CURRENT ARR]: strategic acquisition (buyers list), PE recap, secondary + hold, IPO track What each path requires 12/24/36 months out (metrics, governance, financials audited, ops maturity) Trade offs each path forces (control, upside, employees, mission) What to start doing NOW that keeps every path open What quietly closes options if not addressed (messy cap table, missing audit trail, unclear IP assignments) Reject "just build a great company" — give me the actual moves. Voice: founder to founder.
