Entering an established market as a start-up is a completely different ballgame than 'greenfield', both funding wise and how you need to tackle the whole problem.
Thank you, do you have any recommendations for learning specifically for established markets? Eg books/podcasts etc

Your infinity is larger though so it's all good.
Not quite, anything subtracted from itself is zero. However, if you send me Infinity bitcoin, I will send you 10 Infinity bitcoin back (I am Expert Hacker).
This is a calculator, not a simulator. What exactly are you simulating? This takes a number of fixed inputs and produces a fixed output over some very coarse, manually controlled time steps. It's like saying using a calculator to add up the last few months of income/expenses is a "financial simulator".

Therein lies the rub, but if you are turning a small, but real profit, and you then need a cash infusion you’ll retain far more control if you already have proved you can make money.
Been there, done that and no, you're wrong. You won't find any investors if there is already a very well funded competitor that gives away the same product. They will spoil both the market and your funding chances. You can only get that funding before such an entity appears, afterwards it's a matter of patience until they inevitably self destruct.
(Also, FWIW my revenue is diversified enough that I can weather some storms in one area or another.)

This seems like a rather pedantic objection in my opinion. “Simulation” here likely refers to a potential scenario such as a raise or an exit, or even an entire hypothetical venture.
Not really pedantic to me. Am I the only one here old enough to remember "Drug Wars" on the Ti calculators? That was an actual sim game. This is not that.

I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks. (Also, FWIW my revenue is diversified enough that I can weather some storms in one area or another.)
I've literally abandoned my founding dream because of the complication and lack of visibility I was dealing with. This could have been a game changer for me! Keeps us updated with you work pls Ready to provide dev assistance
Nice tool, but if your goal is to help people understand, some more information in the UI would be nice; I can click "add safe" - what does that mean?
TL;DR: A really simple funding contract.
Developed at YC, often used by YC companies. Investor gives money now and, in the future, gets a discount on the company's shares or pays a lower price when the startup does well.
