What the cap table shows

A cap table records who owns or may receive company equity, the instruments that created those positions, and how financing events changed ownership over time.

How EqDeal organizes it

• Rounds group related financing activity.
• Contracts record the terms agreed with founders, investors, or option participants.
• Issuances create permanent issued ownership records.
• Secondary transactions transfer existing ownership without creating new shares.
• Simulations show possible outcomes without representing finalized history.

Read totals carefully

Issued, reserved, treasury, authorized, and fully diluted figures answer different questions. Confirm which basis a percentage uses before comparing ownership.
