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!

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!
