Can the AI update my actual cap table software?

No. The AI only calculates scenarios based on the data you provide. It does not have write access to your legal or accounting software.

Does it handle pre-money vs post-money pool math?

Yes. You can specify if the option pool should be created pre-money or post-money in your prompt.

Can the AI draft the legal term sheet?

No. The AI provides the mathematical outcomes of the dilution. You must handle the legal drafting yourself.

Will it remember my previous cap table versions?

The AI only knows what you provide in the current chat session or what is in the connected data. It doesn't store a permanent history of your cap table.

Can I model multiple rounds at once?

No. You should run one scenario at a time to ensure the math for each specific dilution event is accurate.

Short answer

How do I calculate post-money dilution with an option pool?

Your AI uses the simulator to calculate new ownership percentages after an investor mandates an option pool. It accounts for the dilution hitting existing shareholders to ensure the post-money cap table is accurate. You get a clear breakdown of the new ownership split.

The results you get

What the simulation produces

Running a scenario produces these specific outcomes.

OWNERSHIP

New equity splits

The AI calculates the exact percentage held by founders, investors, and the new option pool. You see the updated cap table immediately.

DILUTION

Impact on founders

The tool shows how much the new pool shrinks existing holdings. You'll see the specific drop in percentage points for each stakeholder.

SCENARIOS

Comparison models

You can run multiple versions of the same deal. This lets you test different pool sizes to see which meets investor terms best.

HUMAN

Final term sheet review

The AI provides the numbers, but you must verify these against your legal documents. You decide if the dilution is acceptable for the deal.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI processes your cap table inputs to solve for the new post-money structure.

Input current cap table
Your agent reads your existing ownership data and the proposed investment amount. It sets the baseline for the calculation.

Apply option pool requirements
The AI injects the required option pool percentage into the post-money calculation. It adjusts the math to reflect the new total share count.
compute_post_money_scenario
Calculate dilution impact
The tool determines how the new pool and the new investment dilute the current shareholders. It isolates the specific impact on each party.
compute_post_money_scenario
Generate ownership report
The AI outputs a clean summary of the new post-money ownership percentages. You get a structured list of all stakeholders.
