Cap Tables

A cap table, or capitalization table, is a detailed record that shows who owns what portion of a company. It lists all shareholders, including founders, investors, and employees with stock options, along with the number of shares they hold and their ownership percentage. The cap table helps stakeholders understand ownership stakes, dilution from new investments, and how equity is divided as the company grows. It’s essential for making informed decisions about fundraising, company valuation, and share distribution, providing a clear picture of the company's ownership structure at any given time.
