Exploring Cap Table Optimization for Founders – from Startup to Exit
Supported by VIATEC
Learn how to navigate the complexities of capitalization tables at every stage of your venture in this workshop designed for Founders and Tech Executives. A team of experts from Osler and CIBC will guide you through a dynamic case study, tracing the journey of an early-stage startup led by co-founders as it navigates multiple rounds of debt and equity financing, culminating in a successful exit.
During this session, you will gain a deeper understanding of:
- The fundamentals of cap tables
- Types of financing rounds and their impact on your cap table
- Contemplating an exit – exploring different types (strategic, PE, or IPO) and the process involved
- Understanding the exit waterfall
- Avoiding common mistakes in the context of cap tables
Participants will come away equipped with the knowledge to make strategic decisions that optimize your venture’s cap table and position it for success.
