Cap Table (Capitalization Table) keeps records of all ownership stakes and capitalization. The data in the cap table includes common shares, preferred shares, options, warrants, KISS, SAFE, ESOP (Employees Stock Option Plan) and any price that has been paid by the shareholders for their securities.
More companies stay private longer, and it's quite challenging to keep track of all changes in the company structure. Most of the founders don't keep a record of their company structure. Therefore it's better to use a spreadsheet which keeps some part of the company shares recorded. Some companies prefer to use a software application such as TrueEquity, Gust, or Eqvista can get you access for your part of the equity.
