Option pool calculator

This option pool calculator is to use for determining how much equity to allocate for an employee option pool during fundraising. It calculates the required pool size based on pre and post money valuations and investor terms. This helps founders see the dilution impact on their ownership and the overall cap table. It is especially useful when investors require the option pool to be created or expanded before their investment.
