THE PROBLEM

Confusion is expensive.

23%

of startup failures cite team and culture issues as a contributing factor, according to CB Insights.

254

venture-backed companies shut down in Q1 2024 alone, according to Carta's own data.

Example: what a 0.25% stake can net at a $10M exit once senior preferences are paid first.

WHO IT'S FOR

Everyone on the cap table deserves a clear answer.

Founders

You signed a term sheet. Do you know what your 60% actually means at exit?

Employees

You took a pay cut for options. Do you know what the company needs to exit at for those to be worth anything?

Advisors

You have options in a dozen companies. Do you know what any of them are worth?

Investors

You track portfolio positions across dozens of companies. Are you doing it in Excel?

THE EXIT CALCULATOR

Try it now.

Enter your numbers and see what a big exit actually pays, after preferences, notes, and senior claims are applied.

Exit payout check

A big exit can still surprise founders.

A company can look successful and still leave common holders with much less than expected once preferences and notes are paid first. This assumes simple-interest notes and senior claims paid before common holders.
