Dilution is an important consideration when you raise more money to fund your business. Atlanta Ventures has created a simple template for you to quickly see how the founders’ ownership stake changes when you complete additional funding rounds based on the amount raised and the pre-money valuation of each raise. Using the template below, follow these simple steps:
3
4
1. Input the pre-money valuation of the company for the raise as well as any option pool that must be taken into account
5
2. Input the investment amount for both founders and investors as well as their ownership stake before the raise
6
3. For subsequent rounds, input only the pre-money valuation and the investment amount for each party - ownership stake before raise will automatically populate
7
4. Make sure that each yellow box has a value in it for each round you want to include in the analysis - all cells with black numbers should not be touched
8
*Note that the values for "Funding Round 1" have been filled in as an example; Any option pool is assumed to come directly from the founders' ownership stake

While there will likely be multiple founders and multiple investors, this template is designed to provide a high-level view of how shares will change as you raise more rounds for the business.
