What this question trains

This question practices a core venture and growth equity concept, how anti-dilution protection is calculated when new shares are issued at a lower price. Candidates need to know which shares are included in the denominator under each method, how the share count affects the size of the price adjustment, and why that matters to preferred investors and common shareholders. Interviewers ask this because anti-dilution terms come up often in financing documents, cap table analysis, and deal negotiations, and a strong candidate should be able to explain the mechanics clearly and distinguish between different classes of dilution protection.
