The Hidden Power of the Cap Table! I have seen many entreprenueurs struggling with their cap table just before the funding round and at that point, its not easy to cleanup the mess! Cap Table is the DNA of your startup’s ownership and if you’re not actively managing it, expect surprises very soon! Here’s why a well-structured cap table is must!: 🔹Clarity on Ownership -- As your startup scales, so does complexity. A transparent cap table keeps founders, investors, and employees aligned on equity. 🔹Investor Readiness -- Fundraising? Investors will scrutinize your cap table. A clean structure makes negotiations smoother and builds trust. 🔹 Anticipating Dilution – Convertible notes, convertible loans, CCPS, CCD sounds great, right? But without clear conversion terms, expect to make life tough for you as well as any incoming investor! Too often, entrepreneur ignore their cap table until it's too late. So, are you managing yours proactively, or is it an afterthought? Let’s discuss. Share your insights! hashtag#CapTable hashtag#StartupFunding hashtag#EquityManagement hashtag#FounderTips
