Capitalization Table
A Capitalization Table (Cap Table) is a spreadsheet or document that provides a detailed summary of a company’s equity ownership structure, including the ownership stakes of founders, investors, employees, and other stakeholders, as well as the types of securities issued, their respective prices, and the ownership percentages or dilution effects. Cap tables are used to track ownership changes, calculate ownership percentages, assess the impact of new investments or equity issuances, and determine the distribution of proceeds in the event of an exit or liquidity event.
