I’ve never heard of that happening in any financing or startup company that I know. Founders almost always own Common Shares since that is what exist when the company is created. To become Series A Preferred shareholders they would need to do a share swap during the financing (since Series A Preferred are only created at the financing).

Protective Provisions’, suggest that only the Founders should be Preferred shareholders in the Series A (rather than founders and investors)? I met an investor that suggested they themselves should be taking Preferred stock in a Series A, and they made no mention of where the founders would sit in relation to this.
