I’ve been through this type of thing a few times and there aren’t many good solutions. The new business needs cash so taking some is a tough pitch to the new team’s executives. New investors are rarely keen to see funds going to an exit fund. You can make threats and indicate you won’t go quietly into the good night, but that makes things adversarial. At some point in the future, your equity could become a problem that will be worth taking care of. At this point, your best path to dollars is to become the problem, but if you do that, it’s a lot more difficult to see one of those future exits shape up.
