About The Cap Table

The Cap Table covers the money mechanics of startups — equity, SAFEs, option pools, dilution, and what actually happens when a company is sold. The rules are knowable; most founders just meet them too late.

We write for people who own, or will own, a piece of something. Every explainer is checked against primary sources — the documents themselves — and reviewed by a human editor. Nothing here is legal or investment advice; it is the map you read before paying an advisor.
