Understanding Dilution Math
New Investor Ownership
Investor % = Investment ÷ (Pre-Money + Investment)
Founder Dilution Factor
Post % = Pre % × (1 - New Investor % - ESOP %)
Effective Dilution %
Dilution % = ((Pre % - Post %) ÷ Pre %) × 100
Frequently Asked Questions
How does an ESOP pool expand dilution in a funding round?
Investors typically require the ESOP pool to be created or expanded on a pre-money basis, which concentrates the dilution entirely onto existing founders and prior investors.
