Did I oversell the cap table for my startup? | Ep 57 | Uncapped Notes
When building, it’s difficult to prioritize and keep track of things like making sure your cap table is clean and appropriate for your stage of company, especially when you’re working on building that company to be valuable. What is a cap table, and why is it so important for founders to manage and be on top of it? On this episode of Uncapped Notes, Eric and Janel talk about cap tables, what they are, what a health and unhealthy seed level cap table looks like, and how founders can best keep track of how much of their cap table they’ve sold.
