CapUCalc

Model Preferred Stock and Convertible Notes

CapUCalc helps private equity investors, board members, shareholders, and advisors understand the real implications of every negotiated term, without spreadsheets.

Why Excel Isn’t Enough Anymore

Preferential rights in convertible debt and equity reduce risk but dynamically change potential returns, and structures are getting more complex. Analyzing equity waterfalls in Excel is slow, error-prone, and difficult to share, with download risks and the need for complex interventions for iterations and comparative analysis. CapUCalc provides time savings, control, and consistency with real collaboration.

Four Steps to Deal Clarity

Step One:

Build Your Cap Table


Input preferred stock, common stock, convertible notes, options, warrants, and profit interests using a guided wizard.

Step Two:

Set Waterfall Switches


Define priority, participation rights, conversion terms, dividends, and liquidation preferences using CapUCalc’s proprietary Waterfall Switches (link to glossary/resources). annual

Step Three:

Run Scenarios & Compare


Model sale and IPO scenarios, create multiple variants, weight methods, and instantly see per-share allocations across all capital classes.

Step Four:

Collaborate & Finalize


Invite team leads, collaborators, and reviewers. Rate variants, add comments, and promote a final variant as the system of record.
