Show HN: Startup Calculators for Founders

4 points| neebelthan | 6 months ago |icanpitch.com

Founders spend too much time piecing together spreadsheets to answer basic questions about equity, dilution, valuation, and fundraising. I kept seeing the same problems pop up: •How much will an option pool dilute me? •What happens to my stake on exit? •How do I model a SAFE or a convertible note? •What’s my burn runway actually look like?

So I built a set of calculators for founders: •Exit Outcome •Option Pool Impact •Co-Founder Equity •Pro-Rata Rights •Find me Investors •Valuation Calculator •Vesting Schedule •SAFE Calculator •Burn Rate & Runway •409A Valuation •Convertible Note & SAFE •Equity Modeling

All in one place, no messy spreadsheets.

It’s live now: icanpitch.com. Would love feedback from the HN community what’s missing that would actually save you time as a founder?

Useful, Most calculators like this are gated behind email walls and many ‘free’ versions from legal firms or fractional CXO services are really lead-gen. Most founders otherwise just hack these together in Excel
