When it comes to managing your cap table as a pre-seed startup, it's essential to tread carefully. Ensure you are thoughtful about the equity you give away and to whom. Prioritize retaining ownership and control of your company while still attracting top talent and investors. It's crucial to keep your cap table clean and organized to set yourself up for success as you grow. Remember, every percentage point matters in the long run. #startupadvice #captablerules
