Effective Pre-Money Analysis

Pre-Money ESOP Expansion (Investor Term Sheet Standard)

When the ESOP pool top-up (5.0%, ₹5.00 Cr) is created pre-money, existing shareholders bear 100% of the dilution prior to the Series B investment. The incoming investor's primary ownership is uncompromised at 100.0% of post-money, which effectively reduces the pre-money valuation received by existing shareholders from ₹0.00 Cr to ₹-5.00 Cr (pre-money minus ₹5.00 Cr ESOP pool value).
