Bijan had a related post today also and apparently Brad Feld did a couple of days ago (but I somehow missed that).  Will try to pull them all together at some point.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">albert</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:15:05 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Don&amp;#039;t Let the Funky Math of Convertibles Bite You</title><link>http://continuations.com/post/235068608#comment-22082999</link><description>&lt;p&gt;i love these posts you and fred did today. quite possibly the greatest single day of blogging in USV history. congrats on the milestone, albert!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">kidmercury</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:12:01 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Don&amp;#039;t Let the Funky Math of Convertibles Bite You</title><link>http://continuations.com/post/235068608#comment-22062520</link><description>&lt;p&gt;We always look at everything on a fully diluted basis.  I think if you present a deal to existing or potential investors you should do the same.  It's not a good way to start off a relationship or to treat existing investors to have them surprised about the full impact of a deal.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">albert</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:19:37 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Don&amp;#039;t Let the Funky Math of Convertibles Bite You</title><link>http://continuations.com/post/235068608#comment-22061431</link><description>&lt;p&gt;When talking to potential investors, should you focus on full-diluted (effective) valuation or the pre-conversion?&lt;br&gt;I find that many investors use warrants to sweeten their deal and then previous investors get flustered because of the different scenarios as they don't understand their dilution because the simple math doesn't work out.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Larry M</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:52:43 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
