For an option pool increase or other reserve created at the same time

Assumptions:
- Dilution assumes you do not participate in the new issuance (no pro-rata exercise).
- Pro-rata shares to maintain ownership are calculated as: your shares × (new shares ÷ pre-money shares).
- Implied valuations use the price per share multiplied by share counts; actual valuations may differ based on liquidation preferences, participation rights, and other terms.
- Additional reserved shares (e.g., option pool) are treated as part of the post-money share count and dilute all existing holders proportionally.
- This calculator does not model SAFEs, convertible notes, or instruments with discounts/caps—those require separate conversion calculations.
