Cap Table

The cap table is a snapshot of a startup’s ownership structure, detailing who owns/will own what percentage of the company.

It provides clarity on share distribution among founders, investors and employees. This is essential for understanding current and potential future ownership of the company, and for planning future funding rounds.

CLAs are a type of loan that can later be converted into shares under set conditions. They let investors participate in your company’s potential growth while offering your startup access to funding without immediately going through a complex equity round.
