How do I calculate the total equity needed for my next funding round?

You can use the `calculate_pool_requirements` tool. It takes into account your current employees, planned hires, ungranted options, and industry benchmarks to provide a recommended pool size.

Can I predict how long my current option pool will last?

Yes, the `project_hiring_runway` tool allows you to predict how many months or hiring cycles your available pool can sustain based on your planned hiring rate and average grants.

How does creating a new pool affect my ownership?

You can use `estimate_dilution_impact` to calculate the reduction in ownership percentage for existing shareholders caused by the creation of a new option pool.
