Fully Diluted Shares

Definición

Fully diluted shares count all shares outstanding plus everything convertible into shares: options (granted and often the unallocated pool), warrants, SAFEs, and notes.

Cómo aparece en el fundraising

Valuations and ownership percentages are negotiated on a fully diluted basis, so a “10 percent” stake means 10 percent after all instruments convert.

Preguntas frecuentes

Why do investors insist on fully diluted math?

It prevents ownership from being quietly eroded by instruments that convert later; everyone negotiates against the same complete denominator.

Does the unallocated option pool count?

Usually yes in venture negotiations, which is why pool expansions before a round effectively come out of founder ownership.
