Delving into the intricacies of startup ownership, the 'Vesting Schedule' model in the 'Cap Table' spreadsheet provides a comprehensive view of how shares are distributed over time. It elucidates the concept of a 'vesting schedule', a crucial aspect of startup equity that determines when founders, employees, and investors actually own their shares. This model is instrumental in understanding how to maintain control of a startup, even when bringing in investors. It breaks down complex terms like 'safe', 'convertible note', 'preferred shares', and 'option pool', making them accessible and easy to understand. This model is a must-visit for anyone navigating the world of startup ownership and investment.
