All good feedback! Thanks! The option pool math is kinda hard to visualize, and that link's "we think you're worth $x, but let's create $y of new options and call their sum your pre-money" quote is probably the most succinct way of explaining it. Did the blue bar with the dotted component for the new options make sense, or was that too subtle? Any other suggestions for how to show it?

That quote of "worth $x, let's create $y" was what made it click for me. Great way to explain it. The dotted lines only really helped me to label the data on the bar chart, but on the right-hand column, I didn't quite get it. What if you underlined 8M with two colors: one for the 6.5M effective valuation and one for the 1.5M New Options (lengths based on makeup ratio)? Also one thing that might help is modifying the horizontal lines; at the same weight, I wouldn't infer a Sum calculation, but if the bottom line were bolder, I might think to add up the numbers
