The Company management always would like to determine the effect of dilution on various shareholders before offering additional equity for sale. Current investors tend to participate in the new offering on a pro-rata basis to maintain their ownership in the Company. Dilution analysis allows the shareholders to determine the impact of non-participation in the new equity offering and thus determine their participation. Within these spreadsheets lies a wealth of critical information which every executive, investment banker, entrepreneur, CEO, VC and lawyer should have at their fingertips.Praveen Gupta is the author of 'Ready to Use: Dilution Models for Private Companies: Interactive Financial Models in Excel Spreadsheet (on CD-ROM) Used by Top Executives', published 2005 under ISBN 9781597010351 and ISBN 1597010359.
