Cap Table 101 - Here is how to keep it healthy A lot of founders mess up their cap table in early days. Here are 3 quick rules: 1. Founders should own ~80–85% post pre-seed Too low, and VCs will worry you’re already over-diluted. 2. Avoid giving big equity to advisors or freelancers Use small grants (0.25–1%) with vesting, if at all. 3.

Bad cap tables kill deals. Keep it clean. Follow me for more such insights on fundraising. DM me if you are raising money.
