Your cap table is the authoritative record of who owns equity in your company. In Launchboard, every entry on the cap table traces back to a document in your Dataroom — a SAFE, a board consent, a stock certificate — so you always know where a number came from. This document-grounded approach is what makes your cap table trustworthy to investors and auditors alike. The Cap Table section is organized into four views:
ViewPathWhat it shows
Overview/tableOwnership distribution chart and a summary of all shareholders
Stakeholders/stakeholdersEvery person or entity that holds or has held equity
Stock Classes/classesYour authorized share classes (Common, Series Seed Preferred, etc.)
Securities / Ledger/securitiesEvery individual equity position — one row per holding

How data gets into the cap table

Data enters the cap table in two ways:
  1. From the Dataroom — When you upload a legal document (SAFE, incorporation charter, board consent), Launchboard extracts the relevant terms, lets you review them in the Inspector, and then merges them into the cap table as structured records. The resulting entities retain a link back to the source document.
  2. Manual entry — You can add stakeholders, share classes, and securities directly through the cap table forms at any time. This is useful for issuing new equity that doesn’t yet have an executed agreement.

Provenance

Every cap table record that came from a document carries a provenance link — a direct reference to the exact document version it was extracted from. You can click that link from any stakeholder, share class, or security row to open the original document in the Inspector. Provenance is what distinguishes Launchboard from a spreadsheet. When an investor or auditor asks “where did this number come from?”, provenance gives you a one-click answer.

OCF compliance

Launchboard stores all cap table data in the Open Cap Format (OCF) — an open standard for cap table interoperability. Every entity you create is validated against the OCF v1.1.0 schema before it’s saved. You can export a full OCF-compliant data package from Settings → Cap Table.
