I am currently in a rush to sell these shares. Unfortunately I am the only one former employee with such interest, so the volume is too small for secondary markets to take interest.
I've reached out to several professional liquidity solution companies, but received a low ball offer (price from a previous round). Maybe they expected that I would negotiate up and I missed the signal - regardless, it seems absurd to discount preferred shares at 40-50%. Especially for such a small volume. I mean, what do these guys know without access to company's finances, that Google did not when it invested $80 million (an had access to company's finances)?
So with that, what is you experience? How would you approach the sale of these shares?
Not everyone can afford to put his/her career on the line the way Antonio Garcia Martinez did with his Chaos Monkeys revelations. And while many have one or two major stories to tell, they won't bother putting them all in chronological order by way of Dan Lyons in Disrupted.
Would not it be powerful to tell on wrongful management practices and whatnot anonymously using our own words?
Am I just wasting my time thinking of these shares as liquid assets? Should I just keep holding them for another 2 years until the company has an exit through enterprise acquisition (likely by Google) or an IPO?
