Welcome to the last workshop in She Loves Tech webinar series, where Caterina Meloni, founder of Connecting Founders, will introduce you to the concept of equity dilution.

Register to join the live Q&A session, seats are limited: bit.ly/sltdilution0

Tune in to hear all the answers and learn how to set up an optimal capital structure that is fair and appropriate to each entrepreneur’s needs. You will be given a comprehensive guide on:

- Types of entrepreneurs
- Dilution calculator
- Dilution waterfall analysis
- Alternatives to equity funding
- Template to set up an optimal capital structure

By definition, equity dilution reduces the founder’s ownership stakes in his or her company as he or she raises money from investors. The broad concept is natural and easy to digest, yet the important question is ‘how much of the ownership should I give up for X amount of fund?’. If the investor gives my company $5 million for 20% ownership, what does the investor imply my company’s value is and what will be the effect on my own return?
