Cap Table Spreadsheets - A Great Way To Save Space And Make Projections Look Better Two12 is a financial tool used by many investors. Two12 works by allowing you to quickly calculate the cap between you and your chosen investment. This is usually reflected in your annualized cap percentage in a separate tab from your spreadsheet which displays the current debt total by shareholder and some sort of capital gains calculation. Of course most investors naturally focus only on the top tab of their cap table spreadsheet which displays ownership by owner, founder, etc and for that reason for calculating the annualized return this particular tab is rarely looked at during the negotiation phase. The cap table spreadsheet can be used for many things. It can be used to calculate the exit price or EKT. This basically is the amount that you pay when you sell all or a portion of your shares in a company. This number is in essence related to the net present value of what you are paying to each share of stock multiplied by the current price per share. It is mathematically simple to calculate but must be approached with extreme care. Here is where the cap table spreadsheet comes in handy. First of all you should create a cap table for you startup by going to our site and going to startup prospecting. On the left side of this page there is a form that you can fill out. Once you have filled out the form click on the pencil icon and you will be asked to select the type of numbers that you would like to use in the "enter" portion of the form. You can chose any of the numbers that you want but it is best to stick to those that are closest to your personal investments. Remember as you start raising money for your business you will have varying investment sizes so choose a low number for now and as you see your business starts to grow you can raise more money to add to your portfolio. Once you have finished setting up your cap table the next thing that you will do is to download a template for one of these sheets from our site. A cap table spreadsheet is very useful when it comes to raising money for your business. In the past most people would either make their own template or hire a professional to do one for them. Now we have made it super easy to make your own template. Go to template bank and once you have downloaded your template you are ready to go. When you make your own template you must keep in mind that the first columns should list the startup capital, the last two columns should list your EKTs (exchange points), and the third row should be your final investment. The first and second rows are self explanatory. The third row is optional but highly advised. This helps investors to focus on shares that are similar to their portfolio. Remember as you invest your money that you want to have more money in the second place so that your profits are better. There are many reasons why people use cap tables. One is to diversify their portfolio and get some returns with their investments. Another is so that new investors can better understand how much money their common stock is worth when it is first offered for sale. Many investors also use cap tables when they are looking to purchase shares of a business as the price of the company has gone up dramatically in the past. There are a number of different types of cap tables that you can use for both of these purposes. The best ones however are ones that are created by experts and have been perfected to meet all of these requirements. One of the features that you should look for when you are looking for a cap table management solution is an easy to use pie chart. This allows you to simply plot the movement of one of your key metrics such as EBIT, Return On Equity or Leverage and plot the exit point for that metric. If you want to create a pie chart then you will need to find a template that uses the default settings in Microsoft Excel. You can then copy and paste the code that is displayed into your template. This is an important point to remember because you will want to make sure that your exit value closely matches the actual exit value of your selected metric. This is especially true for the time period that you are plotting the chart. If there are Two12 overlaps in your choice of time period or metrics then it is possible that this can cause a bad match and cause the entire chart to be incorrect.
