A Share Dilution Spreadsheet for Convertible Note and Y combinator SAFE Startup Funding

It's important for founders to understand what the dilution impact will be of their convertible notes and/or Y-Combinator SAFEs. You can use the share dilution spreadsheet (see link below), a share dilution calculator, to understand founder share dilution from convertible securities. It applies to convertible notes and the original pre-money SAFE, two very common forms of startup funding (and in particular angel funding). Understanding how convertible securities affect the capitalization table (cap table) can help founders minimize their equity dilution.

The spreadsheet takes in to account convertible note cap, convertible note discount, SAFE cap, and SAFE discount and shows two different methods of conversion to stock and how the different methods result in different founder share dilution.

In a later video we'll walk through a share dilution spreadsheet for the post-money SAFE.
