Calculate investor stake, founder dilution, post-money valuation, share issuance and ESOP pool impact. Compare one or two funding rounds in a single cap table.
A funding round can dilute founders through both investor shares and an expanded option pool. The timing of the pool matters. Founders should model the fully diluted cap table across multiple rounds before agreeing to headline valuation terms.
See how investment changes valuation and determines headline investor percentage.
Measure the reduction in founder percentage after investor shares and ESOP changes.
Compare the effect of creating the ESOP pool before or after funding.
Estimate ownership after a future round before accepting the first investment.
In a simple primary round, investor percentage is investment divided by post-money valuation. Convertibles, warrants and pool top-ups can change the result.
A pre-money pool expansion is generally borne more heavily by existing shareholders. A post-money pool shares more dilution with the new investor.
No. This calculator models percentage ownership only, not economic preference, anti-dilution or exit waterfalls.
