DEPRECATION NOTICE: This is no longer under active development. However, if you're interested in the internals of how cap tables work it's still worth cloning.

Introduction

Captable is an application designed to manage capitalization tables. Typically cap tables are managed though spreadsheets written by attorneys; however, when capitalization structures get complicated (as often happens with multiple finacings, convertibles, options, etc.,) it becomes a serious pain to get Excel to do what you want it to do. I originally wrote this app to help me decide whether to finance or sell my last company by conducting complicated what-if analyses that I didn't want to pay lawyers to conduct. (For the record, I had great attorneys -- they are just really expensive.)

I've extensively documented throughout the application so that you can understand how different calculations are made, so if you want to learn more about financing structure I would encourage you to read the source code. I've included support for the most common terms that are used in financings with explanations throughout.
