Cap Table

What is a Cap Table?

A cap table is a document that records a company’s shareholders and each person’s corresponding ownership percentage, as well as the type of share class. 

A cap table that is highly diluted means the founders have given up a large percentage of the company. On the other hand, a highly crowded cap table means having a large number of shareholders. In either case, an investor may consider this a red flag and be discouraged from investing.
