Compute Post-Money Share Allocations in Cursor

The `compute_post_money_scenario` tool calculates the ownership split when the option pool is created after the investment. Your editor agent runs this command to insert real equity distributions directly into your financial modeling code or docs. This means you can write cap table code that uses actual numbers instead of dummy variables. It makes your financial models accurate from day one.

Compare Shuffle Timings with this MCP Server

The `compare_shuffle_impact` tool measures the exact cost difference between allocating the option pool before or after a round. It spits out the raw dilution metrics so your agent can write precise reports on founder equity preservation. You don't need to switch back and forth between spreadsheets and your editor. The calculations happen right where you are writing your investment analysis.

Analyze Pre-Money Pool Dilution Inside Your Code

The `compute_pre_money_scenario` tool models how a pre-money option pool reduces the effective share price for founders. The tool outputs precise share counts and valuations. Connect this MCP to your editor to automate cap table generation during venture round planning. It saves hours of manual spreadsheet work.
