New Exit Waterfall
February 21, 2025
Significant update to the Exit Waterfall in the Cap Table and Exit Waterfall Tool:
- Edited the
Exit Waterfall, Simplesheet to add in features previously only in the baseExit WaterfallandExit Waterfall, Extendedsheets, bringing this stucture to match the features in the previous Exit Waterfall sheets, and deleted the older sheets and renamed theSimplevariant to justExit Waterfall. This was done because theSimpleversion is built to use an easier formula structure than the pre-existingExit WaterfallandExit Waterfall, Extendedsheets, and because of that it is easier to use because (1) the feature toggles to change the formulas based on the situation are no longer needed, and (2) is much easier to extend to cover more share classes and options. Previously it was very hard to extend theExit Waterfallsheet to cover more than the prebuilt number of share classes, now it is 100x easier to extend it for any number of share classes, options with different strike prices, or warrants with different exercise prices.
Simpler, clearer,better, always innovating.
Please note that the Exit Waterfall, like the previous versions, is not built to handle unconverted convertible notes or SAFEs at exit, but can be done with a custom edit. Please contact me if you are interested in that.
