Some well-run startups make arrangements for this when raising a round. The VC will agree to buy into the round at X dollars per share. They'll also agree to buy up to Y dollars worth of stock from employees who want to sell. VC gets more ownership of the company, and the company doesn't have to give up more ownership. It's overall a good situation. I know that Cloudflare and a few other companies offer this.
