A 1x liquidation preference means investors get their original investment back before others receive proceeds. Preferences can be participating (investors get both preference and share of remaining funds) or non-participating. Understanding these clauses is vital to modelling exit scenarios. Findex lets founders simulate preference outcomes to visualise distribution scenarios.
