For Founders

You built the company. Keep what it is worth.

Between “sold” and “kept for yourself” lies the difference of one year’s work, begun in time. The House guides a founder from the pre-deal structure to life after the exit.

This is you if

A liquidity event lies ahead, a sale, a token, a round, an IPO.
The greater part of your wealth is in one company or one asset.
You want to exit once and correctly, rather than rebuild the structure after the fact.

The tax on exit is the largest payment in a founder’s life.
Its size is decided 12–18 months before the deal.

Five moves around the exit

IAn exit from the company without lossesA position 12–18 months before the deal: restructuring, a holding with exemption, residence set to the event.→IIA change of residence for the dealTiming the personal tax event 12–18 months before the sale, with no tax tail and no undue disclosure.→IIIOptions, RSUs and founder sharesSynchronising vesting and residence, so a single income is not taxed twice at the maximum.→IVA clean structure for the roundA topco and cap table in which an investor’s due diligence finds no reason to lower the valuation.→VCarried interest and launching a fundA GP structure and carried from the very start, so the manager’s economics are not destroyed by taxes.→

“The machine computes a million options. The partner chooses one.”

One exit, one chance to structure it. The House stands on your side of the table.

Structure the exit before it arrives.
