Exit Pathways
We offer three founder-friendly exit models, so your business can evolve sustainably while rewarding early partnership and investment.
Option A:
Equity Buy-Back (2x Cap Limit)
Ideal for: Founders who plan to regain full ownership after scaling.
Example:
- Company valuation after 5 years: €2 million
- Summit’s 10% share value: €200,000
- Buy-back cap: €100,000 (2x investment)
Outcome:
- Summit exits at a capped return of €100,000.
- Founder regains full ownership and avoids long-term dilution.
- Transparent, predictable, and fair.
→ Best for founders with strong growth projections who want long-term autonomy.
Option B:
Equity Retention (Shared Growth)
Ideal for: Founders comfortable with shared equity as the company scales.
Example:
- After 5 years, company valuation reaches €2 million.
- Summit’s 10% share = €200,000+ (or higher if valuation grows).
Outcome:
- Summit remains a supportive strategic shareholder.
- Founder benefits from continued collaboration, visibility, and credibility.
- Shared success — value rises with impact.
→ Best for collaborative ventures scaling toward major partnerships or exits.
Option C:
Royalty-Based Return (No Equity Retained)
Ideal for: Social or sustainability-focused ventures with steady cashflow.
Example:
- Annual revenue: €800,000
- Royalty: 1% of revenue for 3 years
- Total Royalty Return: €8,000/year × 3 = €24,000
Outcome:
- Summit dissolves its equity position.
- Founder keeps full ownership while sharing modest success through royalties.
- Supports sustainability-first models where reinvestment is key.
→ Best for mission-led ventures prioritizing long-term impact over rapid growth.
