[Webinar] Cap Tables, Dilution and ESOP Planning

​Understand how funding rounds, employee stock options and convertible investments can change your ownership

​Join Jazaa for a practical webinar on cap tables, dilution and ESOP planning, designed for founders preparing to raise Seed to Series A funding.

​Using a worked example, we’ll follow a startup’s ownership through a funding round and show how different decisions change the numbers.

​What we’ll cover

• ​Reading your cap table: Founder shares, investor holdings, employee options and fully diluted ownership.

• ​Calculating dilution: How pre-money valuation, post-money valuation and investment size affect your stake.

• ​Planning your ESOP pool: How creating or expanding an employee stock option pool affects existing shareholders.

• ​Understanding conversions: How SAFEs and convertible notes can change ownership when they convert.

• ​Modelling your next round: Comparing ownership before and after funding, including the impact of future rounds.

• ​Avoiding cap table mistakes: Missing commitments, outdated records and assumptions worth checking before investor discussions.

​Who should attend?

​Founders and co-founders preparing for a Seed or Series A round, especially those considering employee equity, holding existing convertible investments or reviewing a funding offer.

​What you’ll leave with

​A clearer understanding of your ownership, the ability to follow a dilution calculation and better questions to ask before agreeing to investment terms.

​The session includes time for live Q&A. Bring your questions about your next raise.
