Great work! It would be cool if there was an option to "Exit / Sell the Startup" after a SAFE round i.e., before a priced round. This would simulate Jason Lemkin's one round scenario: https://www.saastr.com/venture-backed-theres-a-third-way-jus...

working on this one! thanks
An awesome addition to this would be to illustrate the effect of investor liquidation preferences during an exit. A graph of sale price vs your take would be really helpful for this since it’s nonlinear.

UI suggestion: allow click-drag on percentage boxes. I was tweaking percentages between 4 founders in order to come up with certain amounts post-round and it was a bit trial and error. On mobile it would have been tons easier if I could just nudge the values up and down rather than having to type them all in again.

Could you show hypothetical dilution at the SAFE level too? And continue to show it on the graph edges after a priced round?

It'd also be cool to see hypothetical valuation of equity on the line/edges too.

This is an awesome tool, btw! Thank you for putting it together!
