Cap Table Essentials: The Basics of Startup Equity
Here’s what it’s all about
What can you expect?
Using simple examples and working through calculations together, we’ll make the basic logic of a cap table easy to understand and follow.
Among other things, we’ll explore
- how new investments affect existing equity positions,
- which early decisions can influence later funding rounds,
- and what common mistakes founders should avoid when structuring their equity structure.
