Thinking about liquidity early

Funds are judged on DPI, and angels need liquidity to keep investing. Partial secondaries in later rounds are now a common way to return capital before an IPO or acquisition.

Check ROFR, tag-along and transfer restrictions in the SHA before negotiating any secondary.
