Description
What I have learned over the years is that most people, from startup founders to investors don't understand the cap table, and consequently their ownership, on a deep level.
Most founders lack the knowledge to model out future rounds and don't grasp key economic terms when negotiating their term sheet. This course will change that.
Most investors don't know how the waterfall will work in a liquidity event and what the liquidation preference really means to their overall return.
So, I created this course to teach the breadth of professionals involved in early stage capital how this all really works. It is exhaustive and touches on every key point I know that is economic to a deal. Learning how to plan and understand the ownership of your company is critical to keeping motivation and maximizing returns.
The course is taught through excel. It is hands on, get dirty, struggle to understand until the lightbulb goes off and you get it right. I teach it the exact way that i learn, which is by doing. It is step by step with commentary on the specifics.
What it is not, however, is a course in excel. While their are not overly complicated functions involved, you should have a base knowledge or you will get frustrated.
The value of this course is what it will save you in attorney's fees, equity, and potentially greater returns on your investments.You can learn how to project and manage your growth and join a community of people going through the same struggles.
