Często zadawane pytania

How much dilution is normal per round?

Roughly 10 to 15 percent at pre-seed, 15 to 25 percent at seed, and around 20 percent at Series A, plus option pool expansions.

How do SAFEs cause hidden dilution?

Each post-money SAFE locks its investor’s percentage at conversion, so stacked SAFEs eat exclusively into founder ownership, often more than founders modeled.
