Estimate SaaS ownership after financing using investment amount, valuation, founder stake, and option pool. The calculator shows fully diluted ownership and exit value implications.
The result shows the post-financing ownership split between founders, investors, and the option pool. Balanced ownership preserves founder incentives while making room for investors and key hires.
This calculator simplifies ownership. Real outcomes depend on share classes, option pool timing, SAFE or note conversions, pro rata rights, and liquidation preferences.
A $1,000,000 investment at $5,000,000 pre-money creates $6,000,000 post-money valuation and gives the investor 16.67% before other fully diluted adjustments.
Calculate investor ownership from investment divided by post-money valuation, then adjust founder ownership for investor stake and option pool.
Fully diluted ownership includes issued shares, option pool, granted options, SAFEs, notes, warrants, and other convertible securities.
Investor ownership depends on stage, round size, valuation, risk, and investor role. Founders should model the effect across future rounds.
A larger option pool reduces founder and sometimes investor ownership, depending on whether it is created before or after the financing.
Multiply founder fully diluted ownership by expected exit value, then adjust for preferences, dilution, taxes, and transaction terms.
