I am asking a investor to invest in my startup idea but he asked for a vesting agreement and cap table. I have researched online but still couldn't find a suitable answer to what i need. Can someone please give me an example of how it will look like. Thanks in advance.

A Vesting agreement (usually a clause in investment documents) is used to indicate when the investor gets full ownership and control over his purchased shares. Before he gets this, there is a Cliff Period which he must surpass to get fully vested of his shares.

The Cap table is a Company Capitalisation Table. It shows who owns what stake in the company. It reflects the share ownership as well as the option poll.

I advise that you get a solicitor to prepare these documents for you as it is a pretty technical process that requires surgical precision.

If you decide to draft them yourself, you may not know the clauses to insert to protect yourself from future litigation when your startup blossoms.

Cheers.
