As hashtag mentions, a "calculator" is almost impossible... a related problem is that most of the developers that I've worked with don't even know the questions to ask. Don't have the slighted idea what common vs preferred means, what convertible debt is, or what "on a fully diluted basis" does and doesn't mean. A site to that helped people figure out what questions to ask when assessing an equity offer could be useful.
- conorgil145 13y agoPerhaps my comment above focused too much on the details of the calculator I was envisioning. However, as I mentioned, I think the most important thing is that the calculator just act as a forcing function to introducing developers to the right questions to ask and providing them resources to explain why those concepts/terms are so important. I suppose even if there was no "calculator", a site which aggregated resources and focused on targeting startup employees would still be very useful.
