AI Investment Cap Table Simulator

3.30

Derivation Chain

Step 1 AI Startup investment rush (e.g., SK Networks acquiring additional stake in Upstage)
→
Step 2 AI Startup investment round management services
→
Step 3 Per-round equity dilution and structure simulation tools

Problem

Early-stage AI Startup founders (Seed to Series A) manually calculate equity dilution scenarios in Excel when raising funding. Incorporating complex terms like convertible bonds (CB), SAFE notes, and stock option pools takes 3–5 hours per scenario. Signing deals with flawed structures without legal counsel can result in millions of won ($7,500–$75,000+) in additional legal costs in subsequent rounds.

Solution

An equity dilution simulator built on Korean Commercial Act and Venture Investment Act frameworks. Input CB/SAFE/stock option terms to auto-generate round-by-round cap tables, visually compare 3–5 scenarios side by side, and receive automatic warnings on unfavorable clauses.

Target: CEOs and CFOs of Seed-to-Series A AI/deep tech Startups, aged 30–40
Revenue Model: Premium SaaS: Basic simulation free (3x/month), Pro at 49,000 KRW/month (~$37/month) per team (unlimited simulations + warning features), 20% discount for annual billing
Ecosystem Role: Supplier
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
