Oh for chrissake: Just release the funding docs and term sheet.

The letter was full of possible half-truths(eg: 'There is no "4x liquidation preference"' does not preclude 3x or 5x or any other number besides 4), so smart employees should be looking until they see the docs.




No, he says explicitly it does not get near 4x.


> No, he says explicitly it does not get near 4x.

I chose a phrase as an example (hence the abbrev "eg"): You chose a different phrase.

If you want to instead parse the phrase you chose for half-truths, we can do that. It will not change the substance that there is all sorts of potential for half-truths.


"There is no "4x liquidation preference." (Once again, typical of almost all venture rounds, there is a liquidation preference, but it slides up or down based on a key metric and gets nowhere near 4x.)"


He says it slides but "gets nowhere near 4x". That's clear enough to preclude 5x.


Maybe it slides right from 3x to 5x ?-)


Or never gets lower than 6x, as another example.
