I've had this situation happen a few times in my career, my advice is take the money and don't look back. Invest the money, burn it, buy rental properties with it,or go on a trip. It is always better to have a successful exit.

+1. Most folks here don't understand that 5% equity is easily diluted to 0.005% equity in 6 months. So now you are going to spend $50k suing the company for the $10k they owe you. OP needs to listen to people who have experience (like you) instead of random strangers who think equity = cash

  You don't dilute 5% to .005% in 6 months without moves that at best are questionable and at worst are illegal, especially if your shares are diluted and some others are not.

      By having several different classes of shares, some of them with anti-dilution provisions and some without.
