Cap Table Managerv1.0.1

A startup raising a $2M seed round at an $8M pre-money valuation needs to model dilution for founders, existing SAFE holders, and new investors, including a pre-money option pool shuffle. This scenario calculates price per share, SAFE conversions with caps and discounts, and post-close ownership percentages to ensure fair equity distribution.

A growth-stage company with 8M fully diluted shares is negotiating a Series A round where investors demand a 15% post-close option pool via a pre-money shuffle. This scenario involves solving for pre-money valuation, price per share, and final ownership to balance investor equity and employee incentive pool without over-diluting founders.

A company with multiple SAFEs (e.g., $250K at $5M cap with 20% discount and $100K MFN) is closing a priced round. This scenario models SAFE conversions by comparing discount-adjusted prices to cap-based prices, determining share allocations, and updating the cap table to reflect post-conversion ownership before issuing new investor shares.

A startup planning for acquisition needs to model liquidation preference payouts at various exit valuations (e.g., $20M, $50M, $100M). This scenario calculates payout order for preferred investors with multiples, common stockholders, and option holders to visualize distribution under best, base, and bear case scenarios for stakeholder alignment.

A company with both equity and token-based compensation structures needs to manage cap tables and token allocation tables simultaneously. This scenario tracks dilution from equity rounds and token grants, ensuring compliance and clear ownership splits for investors and team members in a decentralized business model.

A software-as-a-service company with recurring revenue uses the skill to model equity rounds and option pools for scaling teams. It helps forecast dilution from venture funding and employee grants, supporting valuation prep and investor reporting for growth-stage financing.
