A cap table (or capitalization table) is a list of all the securities a company has issued and who owns them. It might sound simple, but cap tables can get complicated quickly. Any time you raise a funding round, create an option pool or have a liquidity event, it becomes harder to keep an accurate record of company ownership.

How to use this cap table template

 

  • Download and open the spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets
  • Follow the instructions to input your company’s data in the securities ledger
  • Review your summary cap table, auto-populated using formulas and your data
  • Keep your cap table up to date by recording each new share issuance in the securities ledger
