Modern cap table management

A capitalization table (or cap table) is a record of your company's capital structure, showing who owns what, including founders, employees, investors, options, and any convertible instruments.

A 'clean' cap table is one that's accurate, current, and easy to understand, with no missing data, errors, or unnecessary complexity - essential for good governance, investor confidence, and informed decision-making. 

Common pitfalls that lead to a messy cap table include dead equity, no vesting structures, giving away too much equity too early, a large pool of micro-investors, no employee option pool, poor shareholder selection, unclear agreements, and human or rounding errors.

An RUV (Roll-Up Vehicle) is a type of Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) that bundles multiple investors into a single line on your cap table via a nominee, keeping it clean, simple, and easier to manage.

A nominee is a person or entity that legally holds shares on behalf of the real owners (the beneficial owners), who retain all rights including dividends, voting, and economic interest.
