Decision & Risk Hygiene

Fast Founder Cap Table

Every percentage point you give away has a price. Most founders agree a split before they understand what it costs them. Enter your structure and see exactly what you own at each stage — and what each decision is worth.

Your founder structure

Start with how your company is set up today. We will show you what happens to your ownership as you bring in co-founders and build your team.

Your current shares

The number of shares you hold today.

Co-founder pool %

Total % you intend to issue to co-founders.

Employee share pool %

Set aside for future employees and key hires. Added on top of the founder and co-founder pool — it dilutes everyone.

Target valuation

What you believe the company could be worth. Used to show what each person's stake would be worth at that valuation.

Stage 2 — After co-founder shares issued

Stage 3 — Fully diluted (including employee share pool)

What is your stake worth at exit?

Drag the exit valuation to see how your fully diluted position changes in value. Every percentage point you give away costs you more as the company grows.

Exit valuation

What this means for you

Stress test your structure

Drag each lever to see how your fully diluted ownership changes in real time. This is where most founders discover how sensitive their position is to small decisions.

Co-founder pool

What if you need to offer more — or less — to attract the right co-founder?

Employee share pool

Investors typically expect a 10–15% pool. What does a larger pool do to your position?

Want this result and your first step sent to you?

Percentages shown in the fully diluted table are post-ESOP dilution. The ESOP pool dilutes all parties including you, so your displayed ownership will be slightly below the percentage you retained before the pool was added. This is correct and expected.

This model applies to the pre-investor founding stage only. Once external investment is involved, your cap table is governed by your term sheet and shareholder agreement. Share counts, pricing, and anti-dilution provisions will be determined by your legal advisers, not by this tool.

Share structures and equity splits should always be confirmed with a qualified legal adviser before implementation. This tool models simplified scenarios only — it is not a legal or accounting record.
