Cap table

A prospect investor ask for a Capital Table / Capital Management Plan. So I googled for Capital Management Plan (cos it sounds more descriptive) but pretty surprised that I got very little sample of CMP, especially those related to fundraising from VCs / Start-ups fundraising tools. The ones I found are mostly about budget request descriptions for school facilities improvement. A bit weird but I worked on it anyway. I love playing with numbers and excel.

So I spent almost few days of work breaking down Urbanesia 2 year financial strategic plan. I was pretty happy with the result. Till just now. I just talked to one of my mentors explaining our progress in fundraising and prospect investors. I showed him the email of the investor who requested for the Capital Table / Capital Management Plan and wanted to get his opinion about my hardwork CPM. But when he saw the list he said, 'Oh they're asking for a Cap table!'

Turns out I have been working on the wrong Capital Table! (but i'll share this with them anyway since it gives a good view of what we're going to do with the money once we get them - I loved working on it, so fun imagining having lots of money! haha ^_^)

I googled Cap Table and there are so many resources talking about them. Like what I originally expected!
This is one of the description I get:
A capitalization (cap) table lists who owns what in a startup. It lists the company’s shareholders and their shares. by Venture Hacks

You can download one of the samples here.


Hope this will help you in fundraising!
