It is convertible into stock when you raise your next equity round, and will convert at a price which is a 25% discount to the next round's premoney valuation. It has a Cap of $7m on the Conversion Valuation. A year later, you raise your first equity round at a premoney valuation of $8m. what percent of your company has the lender converted its loan into?

Answer 1

Pre money valuation is valuation of a company without external funding

So premoney valuation is 8 million without external debt

Calculation: equity to be issued to lender is

We shall give equity at 25% discount

So if we issue 666667 equity at 25% discount it will be equal to 500000

So percent of ownership is 666667/8666667= 7.69 %

Working note

Calculation of equity to be issued

Let equity is x

X -25x/100 = 500000

So x is 666667
