Breakpoint Engine™ · Financing intelligence for founders
Know what a financing round does to your equity before you sign it.
Explore term sheets, dilution, liquidation preferences, option pools, conversion points, and founder outcomes with rigorous private-company valuation mathematics.
Connect Breakpoint Engine to Claude or ChatGPT and work through the economics of your raise conversationally.
Same inputs. Same calculation. Same result. Deterministic computation — never AI-generated mathematical approximation.
Ask the questions you actually have
You should not need to learn valuation terminology before understanding your own raise. Start from the question — Breakpoint Engine does the financial engineering underneath.
Which term sheet is actually better for us?
Compare founder economics across outcomes
What does increasing the option pool really cost us?
Rebuild and price each capitalization structure
When does preferred convert to common?
Calculate exact conversion breakpoints
What happens if our next round is lower or higher?
Mutate the structure and recompute
What does common participate in at different exits?
Calculate the complete economic waterfall
What happens after another financing round?
Model subsequent financing scenarios
What changes if I negotiate this one term?
Recalculate the structure while holding other assumptions constant
Your cap table is not your economics.
A cap table tells you who owns what.
Preferred rights, liquidation preferences, conversion mechanics, option pools, warrants, and future financing terms determine how those securities actually participate economically — across financings and across exits.
Breakpoint Engine calculates those economics.
Cap-table platforms remain useful record-keeping infrastructure. Breakpoint Engine answers the question they don't: what your securities are worth under the terms you're being offered.
One founder journey, increasing depth
01
Before the term sheet
Understand the existing capitalization structure and preference stack.
02
Comparing terms
Model financing price, preference, participation, option-pool, and financing-size alternatives.
03
Negotiating
Change individual terms and quantify their economic consequences.
04
Planning ahead
Model subsequent financing rounds and potential exit paths.
05
Before signing
Walk the final structure until you understand how value flows through it.
How it works
Work through the round with your AI.
Your AI reasons. Breakpoint Engine calculates. The AI interprets your questions and explains the results; every number comes from a deterministic financial-engineering solve.
Ask
Describe the capitalization structure and financing terms conversationally.
Explore
Ask follow-up questions about breakpoints, dilution, preferences, ownership, and economic outcomes.
Change
Alter one financing term or assumption.
Recalculate
Breakpoint Engine deterministically solves the modified structure.
Compare
Preserve alternatives and compare outcomes side by side.
Verify
Confirm the numbers came from Breakpoint Engine — not language-model-generated arithmetic.
Built for serious financing analysis.
Breakpoint Engine has been audited and follows established AICPA/FASB valuation methodology, calculating complex financing structures accurately and consistently — preferred terms, SAFEs, options, warrants, and founder common, priced across the full range of company outcomes. The same structure produces the same result, so you can explore alternatives without wondering whether the mathematics changed.
Fast. Accurate. Precise. Comprehensive. One call returns the whole structure priced — rather than an AI working the same mathematics out step by step, at the cost and pace of generating it.

A deliberately narrow service
Breakpoint Engine is a hosted, stateless financial-engineering service. That narrowness is architectural discipline, and it is what keeps your information yours.
- Stateless computation — your inputs are processed per request, never held as a system of record.
- No cap-table custody and no equity administration. Your data stays yours.
- Deterministic calculation: same inputs, same calculation, same result.
- Computational analysis only — never a valuation opinion, legal, tax, or investment advice.
