Offer HN: I will back useful numbers out of your cap table
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1840942I am a 409A valuation professional. I spend my days unpacking hairy capitalization structures to answer questions like:
* How much money will my company have to sell for in order for me personally to make $1 million? * At what exit value do certain Preferred Shareholders convert to common? * How much does my company have to sell for for our $0.350 ISO holders to make $1.50/share? * If we do a 20% down round and anti-dilution kicks in, what happens to me?
I will do my best to give you some useful insights into your cap table for free. I won't be able to spend a huge amount of time on each cap table, but I have analyzed thousands of these in my career and can see things pretty quickly. I won't be able to sign any NDAs, but you don't necessarily have to tell me who you are.
Though it wouldn't be free, I'll also give you an unbeatable deal on a 409A valuation if you're issuing stock options.
