When your cap table makes your startup uninvestable

A Norwegian hardware startup is facing difficulty in raising funding due to an imbalanced capitalization table (cap table). The company has given up over two-thirds of its equity to raise $3.3 million, making it uninvestable for prospective investors. The issue arises when investors take a significant portion of the company's equity, leaving founders with little ownership and fewer incentives to continue giving their best. Fixing the cap table by returning ownership to the founders would require significant effort but could potentially make the company more attractive to investors. However, finding new investors willing to commit to such changes can be challenging.
