As a founder, understanding your company’s cap table, convertible instruments, and your first key hires are crucial to building a successful business.

In this event, we discussed section 1 of Carta’s Cap Table 101 course:

• Incorporating your startup and how to organize ownership of your company
• How convertible notes and SAFEs work
• Issuing stock options for first employees and advisors

We were joined by AJ Asver from Parcha. He shared his experiences and lessons learned as a VC-funded founder.
