🧮 The Founder Capital Raising Dilution Calculator

Raising capital as a founder can feel like a game of high-stakes poker — you’re negotiating ownership, control, and the future of your company… often without fully understanding the math behind it.

That’s why I built the Founder Capital Raising Dilution Calculator. This simple, plug-and-play spreadsheet helps you model how a funding round will affect your equity and cap table.

💡 What it does:

• Calculates pre- and post-money valuations

• Shows how much equity you’re giving up in each round

• Models shareholder dilution clearly (you, co-founders, advisors, investors)

• Lets you test different raise amounts and valuations

🎯 Why it matters:

Too many founders raise capital without realizing how much ownership they’re giving away — until it’s too late. Understanding dilution helps you:

• Negotiate smarter

• Plan multiple rounds ahead

• Retain enough equity to stay in control

Whether raising your first round or planning a bridge, this calculator gives you clarity before you commit.
