Cap Table Management

Your cap table isn't a spreadsheet. It's your startup's economic architecture.

Track current ownership, understand the potential impact of your SAFEs, and model future rounds before making decisions.

The problem

Most founders discover their dilution too late.

01

SAFEs accumulate

Each SAFE looks simple in isolation. Together, they can materially change future ownership.

02

The option pool expands

New hiring plans can dilute founders and existing investors.

03

A priced round arrives

The new round determines how convertible instruments become equity.

04

Negotiation starts without a model

Founders discuss valuation without seeing the complete economic effect.

The thesis

The cap table is a negotiation tool, not an administrative file.

A cap table does not only record what happened. It helps founders understand what they are giving up, what each investor may receive, and how a new round changes the position of everyone already involved.

You should understand the outcome before you negotiate the terms.

The record

One company. One ownership record.

01

Capital Structure

Manage authorized shares, Common, Preferred and Stock Options within the same structure.

02

Stakeholders

Classify founders, investors, employees and advisors.

03

Shares or percentages

Load and view holdings as a number of shares or as a percentage.

04

Ownership Distribution

Understand how much capital is allocated and how much remains available.

05

Company metrics

Check issued and outstanding shares, capital raised and the last recorded valuation.

Every percentage has a stakeholder, an instrument and a history behind it.

Three views

Three views. Three different questions.

01

Today

Who owns what today? Shows the equity currently recorded: founders, investors, employees, advisors, common, preferred and stock options.

02

Fully Diluted

What could ownership look like if the SAFEs convert? Projects how the cap table could change when convertible instruments are incorporated in a future priced round.

03

Scenarios

What happens if we raise another round? Add convertible instruments, priced rounds and exit events to compare different decisions.

Today reflects recorded ownership. Fully Diluted and Scenarios are projections designed to support decision-making.

Current vs. Fully Diluted

Current ownership and fully diluted ownership don't tell the same story.

Current ownership
  • Common shares
  • Preferred shares
  • Stock options
  • Existing shareholders
Fully diluted ownership
  • SAFEs
  • Convertible notes
  • Future conversion assumptions
  • Resulting stakeholder participation

Both views matter. They answer different questions.

SAFEs

A SAFE doesn't always appear as a share today. But it can change ownership tomorrow.

A SAFE is not necessarily equity at the moment it is signed. But its valuation cap, investment amount and conversion conditions can determine how much ownership the investor receives in a future priced round. Vefy separates current ownership from potential dilution, so both can be understood without mixing them.

01

Valuation Cap

Sets the maximum valuation used to determine the conversion.

02

Investment Amount

Defines how much capital came in through the instrument.

03

Discount

Can modify the conversion price when it applies.

04

MFN

Lets you model conditions tied to more favorable future terms.

Scenarios

Model the round before you negotiate it.

Add a future round, define its terms and understand how ownership could change before committing to a structure.

01

Convertible

Model SAFEs or notes with valuation cap, discount, MFN, investors and invested capital.

02

Priced Round

Add a Seed, Series A or Series B that triggers the conversion of the instruments.

03

Exit

Project an acquisition or IPO and analyze the pro-rata distribution.

Changes are saved automatically while you work.

Ownership Waterfall

See how every round changes the company.

The Ownership Waterfall compares the initial structure with each new round, column by column. Founders, investors and the employee pool can be followed through every stage.

Dilution becomes easier to understand when every stage can be compared.

Import

You don't need to rebuild your cap table from zero.

Bring existing records into Vefy through the format that best matches your company.

01

Import SAFEs from PDFs

Upload existing contracts to extract their main data.

02

Import corporate documents

Use Operating Agreements, Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements and stock option grants to identify stakeholders and holdings.

03

Use the Excel template

Download the template, fill it in and import the structure in bulk.

Vefy extracts the structure. You review it before it becomes part of the record.

Issue equity

Modeling equity can be digital. Issuing it requires review.

When you are ready to issue new equity, Vefy does not turn a legally relevant decision into an unchecked button. The platform starts a review with the legal-operational team before moving forward.

Simple experience. Serious execution.
