The Median Level of Founder Ownership at Exit
Founders are always concerned with their level of equity ownership and the potential dilution from a new round, and rightly so.

The technology companies spanned various industries such as SaaS, content distributors, and social media, including companies like Apple, Facebook, Google, and Salesforce. The data and key observations are below.
