    What is a Cap Table?

    A capitalization table (cap table) tracks who owns what percentage of a company. It shows founder shares, employee option pools, and investor equity across all funding rounds. A clean, well-modeled cap table is essential for fundraising — investors will scrutinize it during due diligence.

    Key Cap Table Concepts

    • Dilution: Each funding round creates new shares, reducing existing shareholders' percentage ownership
    • Option Pool: Shares reserved for employees, typically 10-20% pre-round
    • Pre-Money vs Post-Money: Pre-money valuation is before investment; post-money includes the new capital
    • Pro-Rata Rights: Existing investors' right to maintain their ownership percentage in future rounds
