Liquidation Preference Structure Spec

The founder (or counsel) has a complete, parameterized specification of the liquidation-preference stack ready to drop into a term sheet or shareholders' agreement.

You receive: A JSON object { series[], seniorityModel (enum: standard|pari_passu|tiered), seniorityOrder[], notes } where series[] is an array of { seriesName, investedAmount, liquidationMultiple, type (enum: non_participating|full_participating|capped_participating), participationCapMultiple (number|null), convertible (bool), tier (number|null) }

Part of Pitch Investors

What's verified: STUD verifies the spec covers every series, every type/multiple is in range and internally consistent (caps, tiers, seniority permutation). STUD does NOT decide whether the structure is fair, founder-friendly, or what a real investor would accept, and does NOT compute payouts (that is the separate waterfall play). Not legal advice.

Notes

Illustrative structure for STUD.com (pre-seed, unincorporated, sole founder Dan Schmitz; no committed raise, no investors, no cap table on file). Modeled on the illustrative $1,000,000 raise target (finance.raise_amount_usd) as a hypothetical future Seed preferred round, plus two hypothetical later rounds (Series A, Series B) shown only to illustrate a tiered seniority stack; a real future cap table would differ. Later rounds sit senior to earlier rounds (tier 1 = most senior, tier 3 = most junior). No investor or co-founder names are used. Not a term sheet and not legal advice.
