## Description

Measuring the success of an accelerator program is usually a messy process of looking at bank balances and guessing how much equity was lost. This MCP changes that by turning vague feelings about 'program value' into hard numbers. Instead of just seeing how much cash was raised, you can see the direct relationship between the program fees paid and the capital secured. It digs deeper into the equity side of the equation, helping you understand if the slice of the pie you gave away was actually worth the growth you achieved. You can even factor in the invisible costs, like the time founders spend in sessions and the estimated value of new network connections. By connecting this to your AI client through the Vinkius catalog, you turn your agent into a specialized financial analyst that can run these complex startup math problems in seconds. It's about seeing the full picture of startup growth, from the initial check to the long-term equity impact.

## Tools

### calculate_monetary_roi
Calculates the direct financial return of program fees relative to funds raised. It shows how much capital you get for every dollar spent on the program.

### calculate_total_program_impact
Provides a full view of program value by including network worth and time costs. It accounts for the hidden costs of participating in an accelerator.

### evaluate_equity_dynamics
Analyzes the relationship between equity surrendered and value created. It helps you see if the equity cost was worth the valuation jump.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much is the ROI on a $50k fee if we raise $500k through the program?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on those figures, your financial return is quite high:

| Metric | Value |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Monetary ROI** | **1,000%** |
| **Cash Efficiency Ratio** | **10.0** |

For every $1 spent on the program fee, you are securing $10 in capital.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
We gave up 7% equity for a $2M valuation increase. Our pre-program valuation was $1M. What's the equity impact?
```

**Response:** 
```
Here is the breakdown of your equity dynamics:

*   **Equity Cost Value:** $140,000
*   **Equity Benefit Value:** $2,000,000
*   **Net Equity Impact:** **$1,860,000**

The value created significantly outweighs the equity cost in this scenario.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the total impact: $20k fee, $500k valuation jump, $100k network value, $50k equity cost, and $30k time cost.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total value of the program is summarized below:

*   **Total Net Value:** **$520,000**
*   **Value-to-Cost Ratio:** **5.2**

This indicates a strong positive impact when accounting for both tangible and intangible gains.
```

## Capabilities

### Measure cash efficiency
Compare program fees against total capital raised to see the direct financial return.

### Analyze equity trade-offs
Calculate the value of equity surrendered compared to the resulting increase in company valuation.

### Quantify total program value
Combine valuation gains, network access, and time costs to find the true net impact.

### Evaluate founder dilution
Determine how much founder value is preserved or lost during accelerator participation.

## Use Cases

### Evaluating a new accelerator offer
A founder is offered a spot in a top-tier program and uses calculate_monetary_roi to see if the fee is worth the capital they expect to raise.

### Post-program performance review
An investor uses calculate_total_program_impact to see if a portfolio company actually gained more value from an accelerator than they lost in equity.

### Negotiating equity terms
A founder uses evaluate_equity_dynamics to prepare for a negotiation by showing how much value they've created relative to the equity they've given up.

### Measuring program effectiveness
An accelerator director uses these tools to build reports for stakeholders showing the total net value delivered to their cohort.
