A Cap Table, or Capitalization Table, can significantly impact the valuation of a company. It lists all the owners of a company and the percentage of the company each owns. This distribution of ownership can affect the company's valuation in several ways. For instance, if the founders retain a majority of the shares, it can lead to a higher valuation as it shows confidence in the company's future.
