In today’s difficult investment climate, entrepreneurs should have a clear understanding of the impact of proposed financing – before they talk to investors. This session will both explain terms and show you the exact numerical consequences of these difficult negotiating points:


pre-money


fully diluted equity


option pool


percentage ownership


weighted average anti-dilution


full ratchet anti-dilution


per share price


During the workshop, you will also learn how to build your own capitalization table in a simple, but powerful spreadsheet. So make sure you BYOL – Bring your own laptop.


Once you have your basic cap table built, we will discuss in detail how to use this tool to understand the dilutive impact of various investment decisions such as:


stock options
restricted stock
early stage angel or venture capital investment
down-rounds
anti-dilution provisions
and more…
Lunch will be served.
