Shareholders today
The round

What the company is agreed to be worth just before the new money comes in.

If this is more than the existing pool would be after the round, the extra pool shares are created before the round, so they dilute today's holders and not the investor. Enter 0 to leave the pool as it is.

After the round

The investor holds 20.00% for ₹1,00,00,000, at ₹388.89 a share. The company is valued at ₹5,00,00,000 after the round.

What this does not show

It models one priced round of new shares. It does not model convertible notes, SAFEs, liquidation preferences, anti-dilution terms, different classes of shares or tax, any of which can change what each holder receives. Treat the answer as a starting point for a conversation with your lawyer and chartered accountant, not as the terms of a deal.

Whether the extra option pool is created before the round, as here, or after it is a term to negotiate. Set the pool to 0 to see the round alone.
