Hey everyone, Greg here from Capbase. It's been an incredible journey since we launched our Startup Equity Calculator and our NDA Generator here on Product Hunt. Now as part of the Mainstreet family, our mission has remained the same: to give founders the tools they need to manage their companies with total confidence. One question we hear constantly from founders is: 'If I sell for $X million, how much do I actually take home?' The reality is that exit math is complicated. Between liquidation preferences, participation rights, and the impact of future dilution, the final number is often a 'black box' until the deal is signed. We don't think it should be that way. That's why we built the Startup Exit Calculator by Capbase. Our goal is to bring transparency to the most important day in a startup's lifecycle. With this tool, you can: - Model different exit valuations - See how liquidation preferences (1x, 2x, etc.) impact the waterfall - Calculate the exact payout for founders, investors, and employees - Share scenarios with your team to align everyone on the long-term goal Like our previous tools, this is completely free to use. We believe that better-informed founders build better companies. We'd love for you to take it for a spin! How do you currently model your exit scenarios? Does the math usually surprise you? We are always looking to improve our tools for the community. If you have a moment, please share your detailed feedback via our Google Form: https://forms.gle/5BsMzoFXf4GYbSex6 We're looking forward to your thoughts and questions!

What's great

No one founds a company to get rich—most startups fail! We're founders because we are so passionate about our areas that we can't not found a company to have control over our destinies. but you've gotta eat to live, and if you get Product Market Fit, an exit is great

The Startup Exit Calculator is immensely helpful in understanding how much founders are likely to earn in the event of an exit. The road to launching and exiting has a lot of twists and turns, but the underlying data doesn't change and the SEC is a vital tool to help founders understand how the rounds they've raised and funding structures they've chosen effect their exit!

What needs improvement

It doesn't really support modeling non-standard deal terms (participating preferred, stacked SAFEs, complex ratchets) and is more of an estimator. Would be great to be able to drop a real cap-table in it.

Capbase reaches “good enough accuracy” much faster than competing tools, which is what I think most founders actually need. Capbase doesn't really require full cap table reconstruction, it's designed for understanding, not record-keeping. I get to do encourages quick “what-if” exploration and jump between exit values, dilution levels, and terms rapidly. Essentially it's simpler, faster and has a tighter feedback loop

Thank you for this review, Spenxer. You've seen Capbase grow from the very beginning and having your support on launch day genuinely means a lot. Your point on non-standard terms and cap table import is fair. We kept it as an estimator intentionally because most founders just need fast clarity, not a full reconstruction. But you're right that there's a ceiling there and we know it. We appreciate the honest feedback!
