తరచుగా అడిగే ప్రశ్నలు
What is dilution?
Dilution is the reduction in ownership percentage when new shares are issued to investors, employees or other stakeholders.
What is pre-money valuation?
Pre-money valuation is the company value before the new investment. Post-money valuation is pre-money valuation plus the investment amount.
Does an option pool dilute founders?
Yes. If the option pool is created or topped up as part of the round, it reduces the ownership available to existing holders.
Does this replace a cap table?
No. This is a quick planning calculator. Use a detailed cap table for legal and investor documents.
చివరి మాట
Use the fundraising dilution calculator before comparing term sheets. Ownership percentage is only one part of a round, but it is too important to estimate casually.
