Startup Funding Espresso -- Who Gets Access to the Cap Table?

Published: May 14, 2021, 11 a.m.

Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. So, who gets access to the cap table? In general, the CEO, CFO, the board of directors, and investors with information rights get access on an ongoing basis. Attorneys, auditors, and other financial professionals may get access to the cap table for specific projects. Employees generally don\u2019t get access to the full cap table. Employees should get information about their ownership after running a fully diluted cap table. It\u2019s important that employees know the value of their equity, but they don\u2019t need to know everyone else\u2019s equity, Employees should also know the potential for dilution from future financings. Some companies are moving to greater transparency and may give more information about the ownership in aggregate such as how much ownership do non-executive employees have. If one wants access to the cap table, then they should focus on joining a company at the management level such as a co-founder position.\xa0 Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let\u2019s go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: \xa0 Check out our other podcasts here: \xa0 For Investors check out: \xa0 For Startups check out: \xa0 For eGuides check out: \xa0 For upcoming Events, check out \xa0 For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group\xa0 Music courtesy of
