The early employee's paradox

The story of someone who took the risk before anyone else, watched the company they helped build become worth billions, and still can't turn a single share into cash.

Year 1
Joins an early-stage scale-up as one of its first employees. Granted stock options, a bet on the future.
Year 2
Series A. The company’s value doubles. Those options finally start to have value.
Year 4
Series B. On paper, the stake is now worth €200k. Still goes home with €60k a year.
Year 6
Series C. €800k on paper. Has spent €50k exercising options. Still no cash.
Year 8
An exit is “just around the corner.” It has been for years.
Today
Nine years.€800k on paper.€0 in hand.

You already have great value,
it's time you should be able to use it.

Track record

A buyer who can actually close

We have already closed 2 secondary transactions for founders and employees in our portfolio. We know how these deals work in practice. We navigate ROFR, board approvals, and transfer restrictions that shut out every other buyer.

Founder buybacks
Employee buybacks
Complex option exercise financing available

From first message
to bank transfer.

A structured process built to handle what generalist buyers can't: ROFR waivers, board approvals, and the governance complexity of common share transactions.

Three stories we can't fully tell.

Newfund operates quietly. Sellers come to us because we close fast, write a check, and don't drag the company into a public process. The three transactions below happened. Names, geographies, and a few identifying details have been removed.

Early employee

She built the team from scratch. Then left to start her own company.

Employee #5 at a unicorn-stage startup. Several million euros on paper, currently depending on an early founder's salary. Her former employer had no liquidity program and the CFO doesn't have the time to provide her with solutions.

Closed in 6 weeks. She kept the bulk of her position and reinvested part of the proceeds into her own first round.

Options expiring

Seven years in. Six weeks before her options would lapse forever.

A senior engineer at a Berlin SaaS company. Exercising in full meant a six-figure cash outlay and an immediate tax event. She didn't have the cash to strike. Her advisor's first suggestion: let the options lapse.

Strike covered, tax covered, and she kept two-thirds of her original position. No lapse, no compromise.

Seed fund

4.2x TVPI. 0.1x DPI. Struggling to raise fund III.

A European seed fund GP ahead of Fund III. Vintage 2017: strong portfolio, two clear winners, nowhere near an exit. He needed to move one specific position in a company Newfund had been tracking for years.

5.4x cash-on-cash. Fund III closed oversubscribed six months later. The founder never had to weigh in.
