The compounding sequence of dilutive events between founding and exit — SAFE conversions, option-pool refreshes, priced rounds, secondary offers — modeled as a stack so a founder can see their fully diluted ownership at each step. A typical seed-to-Series-B path stacks 5–8 events and lands the founder around 15–25% ownership before any exit dilution. Dilution stack modeling is essential before signing a SAFE with a cap below the next-round target, because the cap conversion is often the largest single dilution event.
