That's what I'm most frustrated by--the lack of respect for other people's time.

Every capitalization table (cap table) problem stems from two basic principles: lack of institutional control and excessive versions. Having to request your cap table from a law firm is a barrier to consistent and accurate updates. And once you have made the changes, it can be difficult to remember and communicate which version is the most up to date.

Just where is the US venture market relative to the rest of the world? After most US analyses I publish, a few founders in other geographies ask questions about their own.
