Capitalization Table

A capitalization table, or cap table, is a detailed record showing who owns what percentage of a company. It lists all shareholders—founders, investors, employees—and their ownership stakes, including shares and equity percentages. It also tracks any stock options or convertible securities. The cap table helps understand ownership distribution, voting power, and how new funding or share issuance might affect control. It is essential for startups and companies to plan growth, raise capital, and ensure clear ownership structure.
