Interesting geometry, adding some more logic to it:

Assuming: O2 – % ownership after dilution, O1 – % ownership before dilution, r2 – new stock value, r1 – old stock value

Stockholders would like:

O2 * sqrd(r2) > O1 * sqrd (r1), where O2 sqrd (r1/r2)

This means value is increased if on 50% increase in stock valuation, dilution is less than 55% (higher dilution is generally unusual unless stock valuation increased 10-fold at a very early stage)
