Good Bad Leaver Simulator

What does a leaving founder mean for equity distribution?

Leaver clauses determine what happens to a shareholder's equity if they leave the company, helping to protect the business and its remaining stakeholders. These clauses typically distinguish between different leaver circumstances. The terms define how many shares a leaver can retain and at what price they must sell the remainder, making them a critical part of aligning incentives and ensuring fairness in early-stage ventures.

  • Explore how different leaver types (good, bad, early) affect equity ownership and payouts
  • Adjust key variables like vesting schedules, time of departure, and share valuation
  • Simulate real-world scenarios to see how outcomes change over time

Ideal for founders and early-stage teams working through equity splits and leaver scenarios.
