Since the percentage you own is also the percentage you can sell later, it certainly isn't irrelevant.

- mtkd 18y agoSo you'd rather have 49% of a dangerously under funded company than 4.9% of a well funded company? If you sell equity for investment in to the business the total value of your shareholding has not reduced, but the company is more able to proceed. Too many shareholders blindly cling to equity for the sake of keeping a high percentage - when the business would benefit from further investment.
