Stanford Engineering cs183 + a Darren Rovell Tweet Shows Us Clawbacks

by Larry Chiang on February 4, 2017

my @StanfordEng inspired #cs183clawback

Clawback is when a founder buys something back. Typically, it’s stock. 

This case it’s a car that served as startup, venture capital

“Papa” John Schnatter sold his 1971 Camaro for $2,800 to start his pizza biz. Bought same car back in 2009 for $275K! pic.twitter.com/QAFvN0vbY3

So, Papa John is clawing back his car.

CS 183 was taught at Stanford by Peter Thiel. His first “franchise” was a sequel to Harvard law review and Stanford Law Review called “The Stanford Review” (at Stanford Law)

Peter talk about buying stock in yourself.

Clawbacks are where we clawback the stock we sold to VCs. Clawback also is when we buy back a company we sold.

I love buying stock in ourselves. I love buying stock in a company we started.
