#11: Founders, don’t fuck up your cap tables by Oussama Ammar, The Family
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Are you trying to raise €250k to start building your company? Stop everything and listen to this podcast.
Your cap-table (% of ownership of your company between founders, investors, employee) is one of the most important asset you have. Don’t fuck it up. Why? Because if you’re raising money without leverage (traction, previous exit), you’ll most likely get a bad deal. You’ll end-up raising money from Angels that will take 15 to 25% of your company. Then your nightmare starts. We’ve seen it over and over again at The Family. One of our obsession is to keep our companies virgin. Because fucking-up your cap-table % is like getting a face-tattoo when you’re drunk. It’s an irreversibly bad idea.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Oussama Ammar is the Co-Founder of The Family. He got his first taste of the startup world when he was 12 years old and launched one of the first web agencies in France. He spent a few years working on it with multiple spin-offs and independents platforms, including one of the first online antique shops. In his early 20’s, after a quick detour through the social sciences, law, logic and philosophy at La Sorbonne, Oussama created Hypios that became, in less than 3 years, one of the few open innovation leaders in the world. Angel Investor for over 2 years with 21+ active deals (most of them Silicon Valley-based).
