What is a Cap Table?

A capitalization table (or “cap table”) is a spreadsheet that, generally speaking, lists all of a company’s securities (stock, warrants, options, etc.) and who owns them. Put another way, a cap sheet is a ledger that lists the investors in a company, along with each investor’s percentage of ownership, equity value and dilution, and other related information. Cap sheets are most commonly used in the early stages of a startup or venture, often created before any other initial company documents are created. A fully-diluted cap table will show the percentage ownership in the company for each investor, assuming that all

Exclusivity Clause

  • 11 min read

Updated August 14, 2020:

What Is an Exclusivity Clause?

An exclusivity clause is part of a bigger legal document that restricts the signer from buying, selling, or promoting any goods or services from any person or company other than the issuing company associated with the contract. In other words, the company or individual works exclusively with the issuer of the contract. Many company owners who are excited and eager to get started in business may overlook the clause. It may also be included as part of another legal document or contract.

However, an agreement of this nature should be taken seriously. Make sure you understand the terms and potential risks involved before you sign. Violating an exclusivity clause can come with stiff penalties and fines. It is also very difficult to break this clause of a contract without being held responsible for the penalties listed. The clause is also referred to
