Tokenization Overlays

Liquidity Pathways & Hybrid Structures

Founder liquidity events, continuation raises, and hybrid capital models. Create optionality without forcing exits—enabling continuous liquidity while preserving control and growth trajectory.

Traditional venture forces binary outcomes: stay locked in illiquid positions or sell the entire company. Liquidity pathways create continuous optionality—founders can extract personal liquidity, early investors can realize returns, and companies can continue building without exit pressure.

Tokenization enables programmatic buybacks, scheduled liquidity windows, and hybrid structures that combine traditional equity with digital instruments—separating tax treatment from yield distribution for maximum flexibility.

Core Strategies

Founder Liquidity Events

Enable founders to take liquidity through structured secondary sales without dilution or control loss. Tokenized shares allow programmatic buybacks tied to revenue milestones or scheduled liquidity windows.

Example: Founder holds 60% of company. Sells 10% through tokenized secondary offering, retaining 50% equity while extracting personal liquidity.

Continuation Raises

Roll early investors into new tokenized vehicles that provide liquidity to initial backers while onboarding new capital. Reduces cap table complexity while maintaining compliance.

Example: Seed investors from 2020 get partial liquidity through continuation fund that purchases their positions, funded by new accredited investors.

Hybrid Structures

Combine traditional equity with tokenized instruments for sophisticated capital structures. Dual-lane models separate tax treatment from yield distribution, maximizing flexibility.

Example: Investors receive traditional equity plus tokenized yield instruments that distribute revenue-linked returns. Different liquidity profiles for different asset classes.
