Understanding stock, preferred stock, options, convertible notes, angel investing, venture capital, and other fundraising instruments can be truly overwhelming.
If you are an early-stage startup company in the tech space, the best way to raise capital is with a convertible note or a similar instrument. However, to understand how those work, we first need to understand how stock works.

unless I misunderstood this, I think there's a mistake at 12:00. I believe Gus should be 75,000 shares while Madigral would then be 21,500 shares. Great content though! Learned a lot here.

AbdulSiyanbade, I thought so, too. Excellent content, all the same.
I’m a VC/IPO/M&A lawyer and was looking for some easy videos to explain startups, VC funding, etc. to my 18 year old daughter who is beginning business program at college. This video and this entire series is excellent. I also used to teach this stuff at MBA/Law school and explaining these things in a concise and easily understandable way is not all that easy. Great job to the Slidebean guys. And yes, as you mentioned in another video, what you have done with your company and technology is amazing even if you did not displace PowerPoint, etc. Congrats on your success and on eventually figuring who you really are and what your market is. Sadly, most tech entrepreneurs never make it that far.

Thank you , really enjoyed the presentation and was well worth watching. Note on the supercharged round you flipped the values for Gus and Mardrigols position. Gus with the 7 million cap should have a larger amount than Margo with her 1 million investment and 50 million valuation. please check it out thanks again for the video .

Allen Cartwright thanks a lot for watching, glad it helped!
This is great! Though your math at 10:56 is off: 525k/4MM is 13.125% -- but assigning Gus 131.25k shares assumes there was 1MM shares to divy up, but they would've issued new stock for Gus. So he would've had 13.125% of the *new* total (incl. issued), so 151k shares, bringing the total to 1.151MM shares. This is a classic markup/margin calc error, a simple mistake (I didn't touch Madrigals calc, but I'm sure the above would change her numbers as well).
Wow, thank you, this is a great tutorial. So helpful!!!
I watched many YC academy videos before, but your videos are more helpful since zip the most important notes in a short time.

Now I'm a lil confused. My understanding is that Gus converted at (525k/4million valuation * 1,000,000shares). So, if that's the case the chart is correct as is. What do you mean "inverted"?
@fredericpette6483

I would suggest that the error is not on 10:58 (the whole slide is fine there) but rather on 11:59: there, indeed, Gus should be credited with 75'000 shares and Madrigal with 21'500.

@@rahulhotchandani5639 You would be right if the capital increase would stop with Gus. However, it is the investment from Madrigal that triggers the convertible note, so you have to go through the capital increase with Madrigal to get the real (final) percentages, which are displayed on the pie chart. In this case (at 10:58), you divide 131'250 by 1'357'500 and get to the indicated 9.7% for Gus...
