About this event
What is founder dilution and how can I use it to my advantage? If you don't know the answer, this cap table event is for you!
A capitalization table (cap table) details a startup’s ownership breakdown, helping both founders and investors make more informed decisions regarding the company. Founders with a solid understanding of these numbers are in a better position to receive investment because they can explain how incentives are aligned.
In this workshop, speaker Ben Pidgeon, Executive Director at VisionTech Partners, will walk attendees through examples in excel and dive into calculations (the excel file will be sent to attendees after the event concludes). This webinar will provide the following key takeaways:
1. A basic understanding of cap tables
2. Mechanics of a convertible note
3. Cap table bloat
4. Investor perspective
5. A functional model to talk about the future!
