Benchmark Above 40% at early stage keeps you fundable
Who owns the company
The slice each party walks away with, before and after the round.
Why it matters
Investors want founders to retain meaningful equity — typically above 40% at early stage — to stay motivated and fundable. Where the dilution actually lands depends on details founders often miss: pre vs post-money, SAFEs converting, and whether the option pool comes out of your slice or everyone's.
Stop recalculating by hand
