Building Cap Table As A Founder: Template to Download

VC Cap table /Liquidation Analysis template used by leading VC firms and founders.

The basic outlines of this cap table are:

1. It shows all the major stockholders of the company listed on the left side. It also shows the major option holders and buckets of option holders
2. It shows all of the classes of stock and how much was paid for them across the top of the columns
3. For each investor, you show how much of each class was bought and how many shares of that class they own as a result
4. You total up the cost and shares and then calculate ownerships on a fully diluted basis (which means you include the options, whether issued or non-issued or vested or non-vested).

If you want to make a cap table for your company, feel free to replicate this format. If you have angel investors, put them in the angel section. I would include the largest ones and bucket all the rest into “other angels.”
