BUSINESS OS · CAP TABLE

A cap table you actually maintain.

Ownership starts simple and gets complicated fast: a co-founder, a SAFE, an option pool, a priced round. Most founders track it in a spreadsheet until it quietly stops matching reality, right when an investor asks to see it. Your cap table lives in your Business OS dashboard, always current, so every SAFE, note, grant, and round is captured and investor-ready the moment it is needed.

What it is

The single source of truth for who owns what.

A cap table is the record of your company's ownership: who holds shares, how much, and what could dilute them. It sounds simple, and at the start it is, but every SAFE, convertible note, option grant, and financing round changes the math. Tracked in a spreadsheet, it drifts out of date, and the gap only surfaces when an investor or acquirer asks for an accurate table. Your cap table lives in the Business OS dashboard instead, updated as ownership events happen, so it is always current and always ready to export in the form investors expect.

BosAI I keep every ownership event, from a new SAFE to an option grant, recorded on your cap table, model what a round would do to the numbers, and produce an investor-ready export on demand. I help you stay organized; I do not give financial or legal advice. Meet BosAI →

What you get

Ownership, modeled and maintained.

The cap table does more than list holders. It captures every instrument, models the future, and produces what a round or a sale requires.

Your ownership, trackedEvery instrument, always current
  • SAFE and note tracking. Every SAFE and convertible note recorded, with the terms that decide how it converts later.
  • Equity grant tracking. Option grants and vesting for your team, tied to the pool they draw from.
  • Round-by-round modeling. Model a new financing and see exactly how it changes ownership before you sign.
  • Investor-ready exports and waterfall. Produce the table investors expect, and a waterfall showing who gets what in an exit.
Who it is for

For any company with more than one owner.

The moment ownership involves more than a single founder, a real cap table pays off. It becomes essential the closer you get to raising money.

A great fit
  • Startups with co-founders, investors, or an option pool
  • Companies that have issued SAFEs or convertible notes
  • Founders raising a round who need an accurate, exportable table
  • Teams granting equity who need to track vesting and dilution
Maybe not yet
  • A single-owner LLC with no outside investors or equity grants
  • Businesses that will never raise money or issue equity
  • Companies that have not yet incorporated, which most fundraising requires
  • Owners who only need a one-time ownership document, not ongoing tracking

Most venture financing happens in a corporation, not an LLC. If you plan to raise, forming or converting to a corporation usually comes first.

What it tracks

Every event that moves ownership.

The cap table records the instruments and events that change who owns the company, and turns them into the views investors and boards rely on.

What your cap table tracksInstruments, events, and the views that matter
Always current
Shares and founders
Every holder and class of stock, so the base of your ownership is exact.
SAFEs and notes
Convertible instruments with the caps and discounts that decide how they convert in a future round.
Option pool and grants
The employee option pool and each grant, with vesting, tied into your fully-diluted total.
Round modeling
Model a priced round to see the dilution and new ownership before anything is signed.
Waterfall and exports
A waterfall showing who receives what at an exit, and clean exports for investors and diligence.
409A integration
Ties into the 409A valuation you need to grant options at a defensible strike price.

Because it lives with your entity and equity data, the cap table stays consistent with the grants your team actually receives through People and Payroll.

How it works

From a spreadsheet to a living record.

  1. 1
    Bootstrap from what you have

    We import your existing ownership, from a spreadsheet or your formation documents, into the dashboard.

  2. 2
    Log every event

    New SAFEs, notes, grants, and rounds are recorded as they happen, so the table never drifts.

  3. 3
    Model scenarios

    See what a new round or grant does to ownership and dilution before you commit.

  4. 4
    Export for investors

    Produce an investor-ready cap table and waterfall whenever they are asked for.

Why File.Business

A stale cap table costs you at the worst time.

An out-of-date cap table surfaces exactly when it hurts most, mid-raise or mid-sale, when a wrong number can delay or reprice a deal. Keeping it live, next to the entity and equity it describes, means the accurate answer is always ready.

Always current

Ownership events are logged as they happen, so the table never quietly drifts.

Model before you sign

See the dilution a round or grant creates before it is final.

Questions and trust

Cap table, answered.

Can I move my cap table over from a spreadsheet?

Yes. We bootstrap your cap table from your existing spreadsheet or your formation documents, then keep it current from there, so you are not starting from scratch or re-entering history.

Does it handle SAFEs and convertible notes?

Yes. Every SAFE and note is recorded with its cap and discount, so when a priced round happens, the conversion and the resulting dilution are modeled correctly instead of guessed.

Can I see what a new round would do before I raise?

Yes. You can model a round and see the new ownership and dilution before anything is signed, and produce a waterfall showing who receives what in an exit. Most venture rounds happen in a corporation.

How does this connect to equity for my team?

Option grants tracked here tie into the equity administered through People and Payroll, and into the 409A valuation you need to set a defensible strike price.

Is my ownership data secure?

Yes. The cap table runs on SOC 2 Type II audited infrastructure with encrypted transport, and your signed documents live in your encrypted document vault.
