📄 Investment Structures

Add one or more structures to show investors their options. Each calculates automatically.

🔑 Quick Guide — Common Investment Structures
Equity (Priced Round)
Investor buys % of the company at an agreed valuation. Best for: seed, Series A. Investor gets ownership + upside at exit.
Convertible Note
A loan that converts to equity at the next priced round, usually at a discount. Best for: early-stage, pre-valuation.
SAFE
Like a convertible note but simpler — no interest, no maturity. Common for pre-seed angels and accelerators.
Term Loan
Straight debt — investor lends money at interest, repaid over time. No equity dilution. Best for: revenue-stage businesses.
Revenue Share
Investor gets a % of monthly revenue until a target multiple (e.g. 2x) is repaid. No equity. Best for: profitable businesses.
Hybrid: Loan + Equity
Most common angel deal. A loan with interest AND a small equity stake. Investor gets downside protection + upside.
