IPO Dilution Modeler

Enter a pre-money valuation, IPO share price, shares offered, and existing shares outstanding. The modeler returns founder, employee, and investor ownership % retained post-money — the dilution every pre-IPO holder needs to know before listing day.

The first of the IPO Simulation Agents — inside the $99/mo Intelligence Stack.

Sample dilution output

Example: $10B pre-money · $10/share IPO price · 100M shares offered · 10M existing shares

Cohort Pre-money shares Pre-money % Post-money shares Post-money % Dilution
Founder 4,500,000 45.00% 4,500,000 4.09% −40.91 pp
Employee pool 1,000,000 10.00% 1,000,000 0.91% −9.09 pp
Pre-IPO investor 4,500,000 45.00% 4,500,000 4.09% −40.91 pp
IPO public float 100,000,000 90.91% +90.91 pp
TOTAL 10,000,000 100% 110,000,000 100%

Post-money valuation ≈ $11B · post-money share count = 110M · retention % = cohort pre-money shares ÷ post-money total. Run this on any pre-IPO position once the calculator above is unlocked.

How the IPO Dilution Modeler works

How is IPO dilution calculated?
Post-money valuation = pre-money valuation + (share price × shares offered). Total post-money shares = existing shares + shares offered. Each cohort's % retained post-money = cohort's pre-money share count ÷ total post-money shares.
What inputs does the modeler use?
Four inputs: (1) pre-money valuation in USD, (2) share price at IPO in USD, (3) shares offered in the IPO, and (4) existing shares outstanding before the IPO.
What does founder retention % mean?
Founder retention % is the founder's pre-money share count divided by the post-money total share count. A founder holding 4.5M shares of a 10M-share cap table has 45% pre-money; after a 100M-share IPO they hold ≈4.09% post-money. That's the dilution event the modeler surfaces.
Does the modeler use public S-1 or private cap-table data?
All math runs client-side from the four inputs you supply. We don't access private cap tables. If you have a public S-1 with the pre-IPO share count, the output is precise. Otherwise treat the result as a directional what-if.
Why is this gated to the $99/mo Intelligence Stack?
This is the first IPO Simulation Agent shipping inside the Intelligence Stack ($99/mo, cancel anytime). Everything on this page stays public — title, intro, sample output, FAQ, JSON-LD — so it can rank organically for “IPO dilution” / “pre-IPO dilution.” Only the interactive calculator is gated.
