## Description

This Connector projects the future value of RSUs and stock options across different exit scenarios. Negotiating a tech job offer usually feels like trying to solve a math problem with missing variables. You get a number of RSUs or stock options, but what does that mean in actual dollars when the company eventually goes public or gets acquired? This tool takes the guesswork out of the equation. It takes current 409A valuations and your total grant units to see what your share price looks like at different exit multiples. It handles the heavy lifting of projecting liquid values so you can see the real numbers behind the potential. It's especially useful when you're trying to decide if a lower salary with a bigger equity stake is actually a better deal over the long haul. By running these numbers through conservative, base, and optimistic scenarios, you get a clear picture of your total compensation. You'll find it's a core part of the Vinkius catalog for anyone who needs to make sense of complex finance data without building their own spreadsheets. It turns abstract promises into concrete figures you can actually use during a salary negotiation. You can move past the maybe and see what your net worth looks like if the company hits its targets, helping you make a confident decision about your next career move.

## Tools

### calculate_grant_projected_value
Calculate the total projected liquid value of an equity grant. This gives you a hard number for what your units are worth.

### get_exit_share_price
Calculate the estimated price per share at a specific exit multiplier. This helps you see what a share is worth at a sale or IPO.

### compare_equity_to_cash_annualized
Compare annualized equity value against annual cash compensation across scenarios. Use this to see if the equity actually beats a higher salary.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I just got an offer for 2,000 RSUs with a 409A valuation of $4.00. If the company sells for a 4x multiple, what is my total grant value?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on a 4x exit multiple, your projected share price would be $16.00. For a grant of 2,000 RSUs, your total projected liquid value at that exit would be **$32,000.00**.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Compare a $140k salary against an equity package of 3,000 units with a $5.00 valuation at a 3x exit over 4 years.
```

**Response:** 
```
Here is how your total compensation stacks up over 4 years:

| Scenario | Annualized Equity | Total Cash | Difference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Conservative** | $3,750 | $140,000 | -$136,250 |
| **Base** | $11,250 | $140,000 | -$127,500 |
| **Optimistic** | $18,750 | $140,000 | -$121,000 |

*Note: These figures assume a 3x exit multiple.*
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What happens to my 1,000 options if the exit multiple is 10x and the current valuation is $2.00?
```

**Response:** 
```
At a 10x exit multiple, your projected share price would be **$20.00**. For 1,000 options, your total projected liquid value would be **$20,000.00**.
```

## Capabilities

### Predict future share prices
Calculate what your shares will be worth based on specific exit multiples.

### Estimate total liquid value
Get a hard number for the total value of an equity grant at a specific exit point.

### Compare equity to cash
See how your annualized equity stacks up against a guaranteed base salary.

### Model multiple exit scenarios

## Use Cases

### Decoding a low-salary tech offer
A candidate gets an offer with 5,000 RSUs but a lower salary than expected. They ask the agent to calculate the total value at a 3x exit multiple to see if it's worth taking.

### Benchmarking total rewards for new hires
An HR lead needs to know what a 10% equity stake looks like in cash if the company sells for $500M. They use the Connector to get a quick projection.

### Modeling founder exit outcomes
A founder wants to see how much they'll make if they hit a home run exit versus a sideways exit. They use the tool to model both.

### Comparing a salary bump to a new grant
An employee wants to know if their new grant is actually worth more than a $20k salary bump. They use the annualized comparison tool to decide.
