Early-stage investors often use convertible instruments (such as SAFEs or CCPs), not shares, because it allows them to delay valuation, protect against downside risk, and adjust their actual stake later on. Founders often mistakenly think that money equals shares, but convertibles offer investors flexible and senior rights without setting a fixed price. If you are not modeling the conversion terms early, you are not seeing the real dilution ahead.
