What is a typical discount for common vs. preferred shares? I'm sure it's pretty dependent on the specifics of the company, but I've found it hard to even get a range of values.

It depends on how far along the company is, as IPO approaches it'll be a 0% discount. For a Series C-D, 60-70% discount isn't uncommon.
