Every dollar of capital is revenue with a date on it.
Beacon runs one loop from the round to the revenue it buys — how much you need, the month your numbers price best, what it costs you in ownership, and the target it has to reach.
Three answers to the same question. None of them agree.
From a wire in the bank to revenue on the board.
One round, priced on numbers you already have. Beacon walks it end to end before you go out — and tracks it after, against the sealed plan it was meant to fund.
$30M in, at about $220M post. Cash: $7.2M → $37.2M.
The 22 seats the target is short, and the budget behind them.
Each seat counted at its real ramp, not at full quota.
The deals close — in the months Beacon said they would.
$18.0M of new revenue for $30M — and the numbers that price the next round.
Put $30M in. Watch every chart already know.
The shaded wedge is the revenue the round has to buy — how much, and which months it lands in. Switch to the cash and the same round tells you which month to go in.

The round is priced on numbers you already have.
Nobody assembles these for the round. They are live the whole time, defined once, and they read the same in the board pack, the data room and the forecast.

Confidence
what the number rests on91% on the forecast, with whatever is holding it down named rather than smoothed.
Every one of them sealed, sourced and dated — which is why diligence asks for a file instead of a quarter of your time.
The whole round, in three numbers.
Run the loop against the target you sealed, and the round stops being a negotiation you prepare for and starts being a number you already hold.
Capital need
What reaching the target actually costs — read off the plan, not off a spreadsheet somebody builds in the autumn.
The revenue it buys
New recurring revenue between today’s $34.0M and the $52.0M target. The round has to buy all of it.
Ownership retained
$30M at about $220M post — roughly 14% away, and the timing is most of what moves that number.
Illustrative · cash and headline dilution, not a cap table.
No round ahead of the numbers. No plan ahead of the capital.
The same green light that seals a plan runs for the round itself — priced, timed and checked before you go out. Or it waits, and you know exactly why.
Beacon prices it, checks it and prepares it. It never contacts a firm, never negotiates and never signs — a person decides.
Know what the round buys before you price it.
Connect billing and your plan — the capital need, the month it prices best and what it costs you in ownership, by lunchtime. Free at any size.
