Cap table

Who owns what, on a fully diluted basis, including everything not yet converted.

A cap table is simple until it is not. Options, warrants, SAFEs and notes all convert under different conditions, and a founder who reads only issued shares is reading a number that will not survive the next round.

This holds issued shares, the option pool with its granted and available portions, and every convertible instrument with its terms. Fully diluted ownership assumes every option exercises and every convertible converts, which is the basis an investor uses.

Fully diluted
The default view, because issued-only ownership misleads at exactly the moment it matters
SAFEs and notes
Held with cap, discount and trigger, and modelled into the next round rather than ignored until it
Per certificate
Every holding traces to its issuance, its date, and the board consent behind it

How to work this page

Record the round with its instruments

Price, shares, and the class. Preferences, participation and anti-dilution are terms of the class and they change what happens on an exit.

Keep the option pool honest

Granted, exercised, and available are three different numbers. Available pool is what you can actually offer a hire tomorrow.

Model the next round

Enter a pre-money and an amount raised and see resulting ownership with every convertible converting at its own terms.

Watch the founder line

Founder ownership fully diluted, after the modelled round and after the pool top-up an investor will ask for. That second part is where the number people expect and the number they get diverge.

Every figure from the desktop appears here, stacked rather than reduced. Tables scroll inside themselves so the page never moves sideways, and figures keep their separators and their alignment at every width.

Questions people actually ask

How are SAFEs handled before conversion?

They appear in fully diluted as if converted at their cap or discount, whichever produces more shares. Pre-conversion they hold no voting rights and the page distinguishes the two.

Does this replace legal records?

No. The signed documents are the record and they live in the Vault against each issuance. This is the arithmetic on top of them.
