How This Works

Post-Money

Pre-money + amount raised. New investor ownership = raise / post-money.

Option Pool Shuffle

VCs require the ESOP pool be set before the round closes, diluting founders. ESOP shortfall is applied pre-round.

Pro-Rata Rights

Existing investors typically have the right to invest their pro-rata share to maintain ownership. Estimated as existing % × post-money.
