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.
Who this course is for:
- Angel Investors, Startup Founders, Analysts, CFOs and Business Owners

Dmitry Bogdanov –
Some explanations were pretty fast and difficult to understand. You need a couple of times to review some videos for a better understanding. But that course is very helpful in any case!
Miguel Schiele –
Great content, still confusing. Zooming on more often and explaining number changes between videos would help a lot
Dave Oyeniyi –
Yes It was gave me exactly what i need as a beginner start up founder.
Tony Yung Yu Wu –
lecturer kept making mistake sometimes. and he changes the parameters without noticing
creates confusion
Pinki M –
to the point, great
Tasneem Dawal –
He is going too fast, and would be better if the excel was prepared and shared with students.
Ricardo Rodriguez –
It’s followable but would’ve liked an intro to the basic concepts/terms prior to diving into excel
Yeow Dheng, Everlyn Wai –
Just a guy going through formulas without explaining much
Kehinde Oladipo Ogundipe –
I am able to learn a lot on this course and it is very key for my current role. Good job done by the teacher
Matt T –
– If you already understand all VC/investment terminology, and just want to dig into the Cap Table – this is PERFECT.
– If you don’t already understand concepts like ‘full-ratchet’ or ‘convertible notes’ or ‘liquidation preference’ then you’ll want to do a course on that first
– The creator appears to have stopped responding to messages back in 2019-2020. So don’t expect any help
– The Excel table he uses is available but clearly people have difficulty finding it. It’s not bad to go through and build it yourself, but because of the (sometimes) awkward IF statements, if you need to debug and you havent followed his table formatting exactly then you may run into problems.
