founder-skills

Models cap-table mechanics for founders modeling dilution before signing — SAFE/note conversion, priced rounds with BBWA / narrow-based / full-ratchet anti-dilution, option-pool top-ups, warrants (cash and net-share exercise of vested outstanding warrants, deterministic pre-round pump), Israeli ↔ Delaware flips (1:1 share-for-share), MFN chains, pay-to-play, dual-class structures with voting-power render, Israeli §102 / IIA cap-table interactions, multi-scenario chained or independent rounds, and counsel-handoff packets citing NVCA, YC SAFE primer, Cooley GO. Use when a founder shares a SAFE, convertible note, term sheet, option plan, warrant, Articles of Association, or Carta XLSX. NOT for waterfall modeling, cumulative dividends, RSUs, 83(b), 409A, SPAC, or warrant repricing — see scope notes.
