Cap Table Money.
Automate. There's a lot to keep on top of with a cap table - and there's those pesky circular references from excel! Pain in the butt. Well here's a tool that takes care of all of that stuff.

Calculate and track. All the cap table elements you need.
Who's Got What?
Every round has a value, an ownership percentage, number of shares, and the price at which they were bought. Now once you get all of that you have the ownership per-cent of the team members & each investor, and of course you need to have the cumulative number of shares of all of the team & each of the investors too! Lot of work... Lotta work!
How Long Will It Take?
Most people don't realize what it will take to raise money. There's all sorts of stories out there. But in general if you use simple science magnitude starts to have some sort of accuracy. For instance tomorrow on friday is four days include fri.,sat.,sun.,mon. Anything that is signed takes a minimum of two days. A meeting takes week from pursuit to reality - minimum.
Sending an email for review with content of any importance is two-three days before the first response. So if you think through the steps you have to execute, attach some realistic time, focus on a type of investor rather than all of them - you'll end up with a realistic schedule of what it will take.
