No... fast growth startup companies don't pay dividends at all. Every
penny goes back into the company.

Aren't you taking draws out of it every month/year? Ride the growth

Hi,
I'd love to hear some thoughts about when is a good time to take
some money off the table. I know this is a very diverse group and
sometimes the insight here is something you can't get anywhere
else. LOL
I invested in a startup company 27 months ago. When I invested,
the company was valued at $1M and I owned 10%. Over the course of
time, the company has taken a few other investments along the way,
so I now own 8.27%. The company is now valued at $18M and several
private equity funds have contacted the CEO about buying
"secondary" shares of the company. So, I have the option to "take
some off the table".
The company is growing amazingly fast... we just received an offer
from one of the top investment companies in the country that they
would invest up to $25M right now.
So, the question is: When is a good time to sell some shares (even
just to get the original investment back)??
