Top 3 Reasons Spreadsheets Miss the Mark for Cap Table Management
Summary
For private companies wishing to model likely scenarios during multiple rounds of investments, using more efficient ways to manage cap tables is key. By using waterfall analyses, automating processes to reduce reliance on manual data dumping, and adopting a cap table management solution, you can save time while relieving stress for your team. A cap table analytics tool will perform a waterfall analysis that cascades the amount of money that each shareholder would receive if all the company’s assets are cashed in. But after several rounds of financing, the calculations can become complex, factoring in various sources of funding, initial public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, and other transactions. With software like Certent Equity Management, you can save significant time and effort compiling your organization’s documentation, cap table, and reporting requirements.
