  • Select Yes in Do you want to Top Up Option Pool to add a new top up percentage.

 

 

  1. Next, you are able to specify the logic to calculate the size of the Option Pool following the funding round. This can be done on:
    1. Pre Money basis for the option pool to be calculated based on pre-money valuation specified. Option pool is calculated first, before the calculations are applied for the incoming investors. This will result in the pool being diluted by the incoming investments.
    2. Post Money basis for the option pool to be calculated based on post-money valuation specified. Post-money valuation includes additional investment amount specified on top of the pre-money valuation stated. Only once allocated to the new investors, only then the calculations for the pool are done, ensuring it matches the specified percentage.
    3. Top Up to a specific amount will calculate the amount to be allocated to the pool concurrently with the incoming investors, resulting in their immediately dilution when compared to the post money approach.

 

  • Select Keep Existing in Do you want to Top Up Option Pool if you want to retain the current option pool with no top ups to it.
