Founder Decisions, in pool draws

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A compact library of equity decision pages and a calculator for venture-scale founders.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The library frames option-pool planning as a sequence of pool draws rather than a single percentage decision. Its hiring-plan page builds the pool bottoms-up from planned seats, then compares the result with 10–15% term-sheet defaults. The accompanying calculator covers proposed VP grants at seed, Series A, and Series B while checking the remaining unallocated pool.
