This simulator helps founders understand the true cost of the 'Option Pool Shuffle'. By comparing compute_pre_money_scenario and compute_post_money_scenario, you can see exactly how much equity is lost when an ESOP is negotiated as post-money versus pre-money. Use compare_shuffle_impact to calculate the precise percentage delta and monetary value loss in your next funding round.

Calculate the ownership if I have a $5M pre-money valuation, a $2M investment, and want a 10% option pool.

In the pre-money scenario, your post-money valuation is $7M. The founders will hold approximately 64.29% of the company after accounting for both the investor's stake and the 10% option pool.

What happens to my ownership if the investor insists on a post-money option pool?

In the post-money scenario, the dilution is higher for founders. The tool shows that your ownership percentage decreases because the expansion of the pool occurs after the investment, protecting the investor's stake.

Compare the impact of a $1M loss in equity value.

The comparison reveals that the 'shuffle' results in a specific percentage point delta and a measurable monetary loss based on your company's valuation, which you can use as leverage in negotiations.

It is a negotiation point regarding whether an Employee Stock Option Pool (ESOP) is created before or after an investment round, which significantly impacts founder dilution.
