Below attached is, Famous Founders and their Ownership during their respective IPOs v/s VC Ownerships: Investors have standards in mind when it comes to what your cap table should look like. The founders should collectively own more than 50% of the company after Series A, which roughly translates into collectively owning 70% after seed. If the project is a university spin-off, the university should own ~5% of the company, not 20% or more like is sometimes the case. Your cap table one of your main resources. If you have enough of it, you can raise more rounds in the future and keep growing the company. Conversely, if you don't own enough of your company, why would you work so hard? There is a financial and psychological reasoning here. VCs understand this.
