How on earth do I solve this..

A Founder is raising money via a Series A round for her DeFi platform company.  She wishes to raise $25mm in the A round.  She receives two term sheets as detailed below.   

• Termsheet 1: $30mm invested for 30% of the company, standard terms and conditions 

including a single dip liquidation preference  

• Termsheet 2: $30mm invested for 10% of the company, the same standard terms and 

conditions as Termsheet 1 with the exception of a double dip liquidation preference and 

an 8% cumulative PIK dividend 

If the company is sold in three years, what is the minimum sale price that the Founder would 

been better off if they had accepted Termsheet 2?
