You only get one shot. One bad raise, one miscalculated exit, and a decade of work doesn't translate into the wealth it should have.
Every raise sets a minimum exit value — the number your company must sell for just to put you ahead of where you are today. Most founders never see that number until it's too late.
Dilution compounds across rounds. Liquidation preferences, pro-rata rights, and participation terms determine who actually gets paid at exit. Revenue growth doesn't equal founder wealth.
Founders spend thousands on advisors to build a single pro forma cap table. Change one term in the deal and the model is useless. Start over. Pay again.
Investors walk into every deal having modeled every scenario. Founders walk in focused solely on pre-money valuation. Every term in a term sheet has a financial consequence most founders can't see.
A higher valuation sounds great until you model the enterprise value required to exit. Over-raise and you're likely on a growth treadmill you can't get off — building for your investors' return, not yours.
Waiting too long because you think the company will be worth more later — not realizing the market window closed. Or selling early because you couldn't see the upside in your own numbers.
Founder Model isn't a pro forma cap table. It's a working model of your outcome — built around the decisions you actually face on the path from raise to exit.
Model any round — seed, A, B, bridge, SAFE, convertible. See the founder dilution, post-money cap table, and personal proceeds impact before you sign a term sheet.
1x non-participating, 2x participating, capped, stacked across rounds — model how the preference stack actually pays out at exit and what's left for common.
Set your target personal payout and reverse-engineer the enterprise value, revenue, and timeline required to get there — net of dilution, preferences, and taxes.
See how each round compounds. Option pool refreshes, anti-dilution provisions, pro-rata exercises — all the things that quietly shrink your slice over time.
Strategic sale, PE buyout, secondary, recap — model the full waterfall by share class. Know exactly who gets paid in what order before the LOI hits your inbox.
Compare side-by-side: raise now vs. bootstrap, sell at $X vs. push to $Y, take secondary vs. wait. See the personal outcome of each path before you commit.
The point isn't to tell you which choice is right. The point is that you can't know which choice is right without modeling what each one actually costs you personally. That's what Founder Model is for.

Founder Model was built by Greg Briley — a founder/operator who's raised capital, navigated cap table complexity, and gone through the exhausting exit process — on the founder side of the table.
Greg built this because he's seen too many founders make multi-million-dollar, life-changing decisions without a personal goal, clear roadmap, or financial model to get there.
