Tools

Practitioner-grade tools for venture-stage decisions.

Each tool is built from the same engines we use inside live engagements. Free to use. No email gate. Output is decision-grade, not directional.

Tool 01 · Capital Strategy

SAFE Modeler.

Add your founders, your outstanding SAFEs, and a hypothetical priced round. See the conversion price each SAFE produces, the mechanism that wins (cap or discount), the resulting price per share, and the final ownership at close.

Tool 04 · Financial Infrastructure

Runway & Burn Modeler.

Three runways at once: cash runway, forward burn runway, and decision runway. Plus burn multiple and lowest cash point. Model hiring waves and one-time payments so you see when fundraising must start, not just when you run out.

Term Sheet Decoder.

Decode each clause and benchmark against 2025-2026 market norms. Liquidation preference, anti-dilution, option pool, pro rata, board composition, no-shop, vesting, protective provisions. Get a founder-friendliness score and a push-back list.

Tool 06 · Executive Operations

Hiring Plan vs. Capital.

Sequence your next 12-18 months of hires against runway. Each hire's runway impact, headcount trajectory, and a Series A team-shape readiness signal. Built around the constraint that's actually binding, not the title that's loudest.

Tool 02 · Capital Strategy

Valuation Benchmarks.

Running a real round?

Tools are one input. Strategy is the engagement.

If the work in front of you is shaping a real cap table, a real diligence pack, or a real term sheet, a short conversation will tell us both whether there is fit.
