A capitalization table (or cap table) is a table providing an analysis of the founders' and investors' percentage of ownership, equity dilution, and value of equity in each round of investment.
Basic cap tables can be made using software programs such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. These programs are not designed specifically for the creation of cap tables, but can provide enough functionality for creating simple cap tables. For the creation of more advanced cap tables companies will usually choose to use cap table software. There are several companies offering software specifically for the creation of cap tables offering users more control and features when compared to basic spreadsheet software programs. Notable companies offering cap management software include: CapShare, Eqvista, CartaCarta, Gust, Solium, TruEquity, and Captable.io.
