@mian_azan I won't repeat all the basics that have already been rehashed in this thread. obviously dilution. round modeling, being disciplined with cash, are all important during a down-cycle. maybe a little more advanced topic is to pay attention to the ways people who support the status quo use good times AND bad times to try to get you to steer your startup into conventional models. during good times, you don't want to rock the boat because you should just use your business success to get as much leverage as you can - it's too early to worry about governance or mission-protective provisions because you won't need them. during bad times, different argument, same result. it's too risky to be different, don't rock the boat, it's too early to worry about these same things, investors might not like it, etc etc it's always too early until it's too late

@tihomirb I should have selected the word 'develop' instead of expand. The thing is, I am an employee at a startup with stock options. I received my first set 3 years ago, and since then I have received 2 more rounds with different vesting periods. The company has also split stocks since when I received them. Our valuation is always changing and I never know how much my stock options are actually worth! I don't see a preview page on LTSE made for people like me to view, and I think that would be a great problem LTSE could solve for many around the world!

@mycelebs_elle thank you so much for elaborating. Pls check out this approximation calculator for valuing startup stock options that we built: https://equity.ltse.com/calculat... startups on LTSE Equity can invite their employees to view all their grants, see vesting, current fair market value - we're building some views that would help employees gauge potential value by understanding different follow on investment and exit scenarios

LTSE Equity is a simple but powerful platform that helps founders go through a step by step process to cover all of the most important questions in order to have responsible Cap table management. (At least this is what I used it for). Had I had to go through this process manually I would probably have to spend 10+ hours researching online and/or spend hundreds if not thousands of bucks in consulting fees. Automation ftw! What else am I missing on the platform? :)

I'm really excited to see how much LTSE Equity has evolved since I built its MVP years ago. As a founder without a background in finance, I always found it challenging to keep track of something as important as shareholdings using complicated and error-prone Excel sheets. My time at LTSE Equity (named "Captable.io" back then) was an excellent opportunity to create an accessible solution tailored to the needs of a founder like myself. Since then, Tihomir and his team have done a fantastic job taking the product from a minimum viable product to a very user-friendly one. I appreciate the attention to detail they have put into making it a lovable product. The user interface is intuitive, and the features are comprehensive, making it an indispensable tool for anyone managing shareholdings. As a founder of Vendora, a business in Greece, LTSE Equity has been an very helpful tool during our fundraising process. It has helped us keep track of our cap table, manage shareholder communication, and ensure that we are compliant with regulations. I highly recommend LTSE Equity to anyone looking for a simple, yet comprehensive tool for managing their shareholdings.

@schuilr thanks for setting the foundation right 🙏 like you, I learned through working directly with cap tables. It is such an opaque but essential field to get right for startup ecosystem success. I also kept running into folks who had similar hard-won learnings and eventually we got major parties in the ecosystem to come together so we could standardize on what cap table terms mean, how to interpret and model them, how to record and share them - super proud of the work we're doing through the Open Cap Table Coalition

As a founder of the startup, I've been using LTSE Equity for my startup's cap table and it has been a game-changer. The team at LTSE ensured a smooth onboarding process and provided excellent pricing and terms compared to other alternatives. What I love about LTSE Equity includes the transparent ownership tracking for all stockholders. The 409A valuations process was smooth as well. Also, the modeling of different scenarios helps a lot! The LTSE team has also helped us think through various comp structures for our globally distributed team. Overall, I highly recommend LTSE Equity for any company in need of cap table management and equity tracking. Kudos to the LTSE team and special thanks to Tiho, Catherine, and Anashe!

@misa_lazovic1 thank you for recognizing the sales and customer success team members, too - it takes a fully integrated team to do what we do. as a founder running a globally distributed team, anything else you'd like to see from us?

Hey Tiho, in fact, there is one thing. I think you guys could be the ones helping startups have more predictable legal costs related to stock options issuance and investor onboarding. In general, my experience with cap table management has been great (thanks to LTSE) but my main pain point has been handling the US lawyers, especially when it comes to the unpredictableness of their costs. I think the way you could help would be by introducing pre-defined relatively standard legal workstreams with pre-defined pricing and vetted lawyers. Examples of these workstreams could be: - standard article of incorporation development and execution - standard bylaws development and execution - SAFE round board approval & execution - equity round board approval & execution - stock options policy development and execution - stock option agreement (with employees) preparation - stock option agreement (with employees) execution, per employee - stock option agreement (with advisor) preparation - stock option agreement (with advisor) execution, per advisor - IP-related contract template development - IP-related contract execution, per employee/contractor - ... - ... - ad hoc consultation 1/2 hours - ad hoc consultation 1 hour - ... After going through this experience, my impression is that most of these work packages are standardizable and that founders really need better control of their legal costs ...@tihomirb
