INITIAL CAPITALIZATION, FOUNDER'S ROUND
Two founders come together to form a company. They each invest $10,000 at $0.01 per share and get 1,000,000 shares each. They also issue themselves each 1,000,000
options as upside, for their work and contributions to the business. The founders entice a friend to invest $25,000. The friend is a passive investor and is not contributing
sweat equity or intellectual property. He pays $0.05 for his shares and gets 500,000 options for his risk. At this point, the founders each have 40% of the company and the
investor has 20%.

THE FIRST OUTSIDE INVESTOR ROUND
The founders are successful in developing and prototyping the product. They are getting traction in the market. They entice some angel investors to invest $500,000 at
$0.10 per share for preferred stock. The investment is high risk because the company, while promising, is not making money and has much to accomplish to become a
viable business. The angel investors are also granted warrants to sweeten the deal and increase their upside. The investors get about half the company, making the
valuation of the company at approx $1M. The board also decides to reserve 1.2M shares in the form of options, post investment, for additional grants to the founders and to
attract new hires. At this point, the founders have given up half the company (unless they were one of the preferred investors). The founders have an opportunity to
increase their percentage from the option pool, based on performance.
