    Share of founder in the company will be 50 %

    Explanation:

    We have given Initial ownership pattern

    Founder owns 100 % of the company

    A new investor wants 30% and also option pool of 20% is also required

    Now if the option pool is pre-money, then the option pool is created without impacting the desired investor ownership%;

    Investor=30%

    Option pool=20%

    So founder = 100-30-20 = 50 %

    So the share of founder in the company will be 50 %
