Somebody please make this: like TransparentStartup [1] but instead of sharing revenue numbers the startup shares their cap table so that we can see how it changes over time after multiple rounds of fundraising.
I feel like seeing concrete examples of how the founders' share of their company changes based on the size/details of a fundraising round would be super useful for founders as they negotiate funding rounds.
Are there any companies currently sharing these details that I'm not aware of?

- god_bless_texas 10y agoI would love to see that along with the founder and early employee stakes broken down on the company side. This is all so easy when you read it on various websites and haven't actually done it on your own. Then you get in the driver seat and there's all this crap flying at you that doesn't fall into any one bucket. The guy who is critical to your business doesn't care how much equity he gets. The gal who is not as critical is ready for a cage match. The investor wanting to throw you 5 million makes the offer over a burger and a beer. The guy in the next town over wants pages of documentation for his $20,000.
