This model starts after the PROFIT Investment has closed and the GX SAFE has converted. It does not model the first-close GX SAFE by itself.

Adjust the five-year profit path
Net operating cash flow is after modeled operating costs and taxes, before financing and dividends. Dividends occur only when the board declares them.
| Year | Net operating cash flow | Board-declared dividend |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $ | $ |
| Year 2 | $ | $ |
| Year 3 | $ | $ |
| Year 4 | $ | $ |
| Year 5 | $ | $ |
Add one later priced round
Keep the operating path the same and see how new capital changes ownership.
The PROFIT Agreement gives Gateway X a right, not an obligation, to buy its share of qualifying later issuances, with exclusions. Choose how much it invests in this scenario. Actual round terms can change ownership and proceeds.
02 OWNERSHIP
See how dilution works.
This illustration begins after the PROFIT Investment has closed and the GX SAFE has converted. A later round adds cash and spreads ownership across more investors.

Fully diluted cap table
Explain issued and fully diluted ownership
Issued vs. fully diluted
Fully diluted includes all current equity plus the entire team reserve, as if every award had been granted.
Issued includes only equity participating today. An ungranted reserve receives no dividends or exit proceeds.
Here, founders are 70% fully diluted but receive 80% of current proceeds.

How distributions are calculated
This is a simplified ownership and cash illustration, not a forecast. It does not determine a legal payout. Taxes, transaction costs, granted team awards, and future financing terms can change actual results. Signed documents control.
Illustration, not advice.
This calculator explains a modeled path after the PROFIT Investment has closed and the GX SAFE has converted. The 10% team reserve and later-round mechanics are illustrative assumptions, not fixed terms in the templates. The model does not subtract already-paid dividends from the original investment preference; declared but unpaid dividends are not modeled. Review the SAFE, Investment Agreement, PROFIT Agreement, and Charter for both stages. This is not legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice. Signed documents control.
