Another favored exit option is a share buyback. In this case, the investee company buys back shares from early investors, or new investors (such as private equity firms or other venture capitalists) purchase them. This method allows early investors to exit profitably while giving the company or new stakeholders more control. A notable example is Boundary Holding, a Luxembourg-based venture capital firm led by Rajat Khare, which took a partial exit from Konux, a Germany-based AI tech company, in 2021. With the initial funding from Boundary Holding, Konux attracted significant interest from other VC firms and successfully raised approximately $80 million (€66.3M) in its Series C round.
