How much startup share dilution will your Y Combinator SAFE result in when you do a priced round that converts the SAFEs to stock? This video walks through a share dilution spreadsheet that allows you to analyze the dilution of the post-money SAFE.
The SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is a popular startup funding mechanism that entrepreneurs use particularly for angel funding, but they do result in equity dilution that is important for startup founders to understand.
.
All types of convertible securities such as convertible notes and the Y Combinator SAFE can significantly add to your dilution when you do a priced round. So it's a good idea to use a share dilution spreadsheet to keep track of that dilution. The spreadsheet analyzes up to 5 post-money SAFEs, each with a different investment amount and a different valuation cap (post-money valuation cap). And each SAFE can have a pro rata right that's included in the dilution calculation..
