Start with the IC path if you have a Carta export or cap-table spreadsheet. The short checklist below covers the rest of the shell.
IC path — Carta CSV → Run → BLUF
Goal: one exit scenario you can paste into an IC memo.
- Sign in and open Workspace. Your trial includes Sample — Series A demo — open it to learn the path, or create a new model for your deal.
- Download templates from /schemas: shareholders, rounds, and exits (convertibles optional / advanced).
- Fill from Carta / spreadsheet. Keep units consistent with the templates — rounds
preMoney/invand exitproceedsare in $M (import converts rounds to absolute dollars for the modeler). Name files so import can classify them (includeshare,round,conv, orexitin the filename). - Import CSV on the workspace (or Import JSON if you already use the free calculator). Open the model. Confirm Company & Fund basics, then skim Capital Structure — preferred rows need OIP, preference multiple, and participation when you have them.
- Confirm exits (label + proceeds in $M). Leave Assumptions on defaults unless you know they are wrong for this deal.
- Run Model. Read Cap Table (preference overhang), Waterfall (kink / conversion), then Fund MOIC if you care about carry.
- Copy BLUF from the output panels into your IC memo. That is Bottom Line Up Front — the short summary meant for a time-constrained partner.
