I didn't implement rounding in the first version for a very simple reason: in the case of 3 equal founders, the answer should be 33.33/33.33/33.33. So rounding to the nearest 5 or 10 is wrong. If anyone has a quick algorithm that will provide "smart rounding" following fractions, I'm interested. Otherwise, I'll figure it out.

Personally I think that companies with 3 equal founders need to get 30 each with 10 reserved for initial funding/employees/others.

Is it really necessary to allocate less than 100% of initial shares when future rounds of funding and option grants can be handled by diluting the existing shares?
