Own equity, and know what it is worth.
You will not get rich renting out your time. You get there by owning a piece of the business, and by reading what it is worth at every round. The Lab is a set of small, single purpose instruments that run the real math on your own company and tell you something true. What you keep after this round. How many months of cash you have left. Whether your split is fair.
Built for pre-seed, pre-revenue founders, anywhere. The same finance work I do for clients, minus the invoice.
