My question is: It says you sold the assets and everything to the new company, yet also personally invested in the new company for years of runway. I don't get it. If the exchange of funds is equal, why not just transfer ownership? If net money out is greater, then why not just transfer and fund. If net money in is greater, why not just sell for the net amount?
