Ah, to clarify: Buffer threw the seed investors under the bus when they inked a deal with the Series A investors. However, kudos to the founders for fixing this mistake later on. While their intentions at Series A were questionable (raising to pay themselves), they made things right later on, though they did pay the price of a co-founder and CTO departure. Everyone makes mistakes, but true character can be seen when you deal with them. > Our seed investors had been supporting the company for almost six years, and several were starting to ask when they may get a return > The Series A class of shares included a protective provision which meant that Buffer was unable to offer liquidity for other shareholders (seed or common) without approval from a majority of the Series A.
