This spreadsheet provides the mathematical functions to create a Capitalization Table (Cap Table) for an example start up company after three rounds of funding. Values in BLUE may be entered, values in BLACK are calculated by the spreadsheet. (Editable cells have blue italicized text and bold cell outlines.) The main take away is to notice the dilution (or reduction in your percentage ownership) when you take investment money and the effects of valuation and outstanding shares on this percentage, please note how each table feeds into the next table as another round of investment occursThis spreadsheet is supplemental to the Startup Finance for First Time Entrepreneurs Open Education Resource PowerPoint Deck which explains this spreadsheet in detail. “Startup Finance for First Time Entrepreneurs - CAP TABLE” by Karen Crofton is licensed under CC BY 4.0.
