Cap Table—the DNA of a Company’s Equity

A capitalization table (or cap table) is more than just a spreadsheet—it's the DNA of your startup’s ownership structure. It provides a clear snapshot of who owns what, how much, and how different funding rounds impact ownership. For startups, it's essential to understand your cap table when raising funds, issuing equity, or planning employee stock options.


We’ve constructed a dynamic cap table model, complete with assumptions for SAFEs, a Series A funding round, and an ESOP allocation. This interactive tool isn't a static document—it’s designed to help users experiment with different scenarios, and learn the mechanics behind equity ownership.
