It's possible, but there just about CAN'T be a better offer. I guess investors could literally pay founders to take their investment. This is, quite literally, the best early stage investment deal that any entrepreneur will ever see.
It also gives them tremendous leverage on demo day and beyond should they want to raise money... If there isn't strong interest and good terms, they can say, "screw this, we'll go hunker down and prove some of the theories that these investors are doubting... Or we'll just go lean and get profitable."
