Raise Millions by Hustle Fund VC Page 143 Glossary Angel investor: An angel investor is an individual who has accredited investor status. That means they have a million dollars of investable assets or a really large salary. Angels don’t have to be techies or experts in your industry. They could be your dentist or a friend’s mom. Cap table: A cap table is a spreadsheet that has a list of all the people and entities that own pieces of your company. Capital calls: A capital call is the process of venture capitalists calling down money from their Limited Partners (LPs) to give that capital to the startups they want to invest in. Capital calls can be a common reason for delays in founders receiving money from VCs. Common and preferred shares: Common shares and preferred shares are two types of stock that companies can issue, and they come with different rights, benefits, and risks. Data room: A data room is a place where founders store their most important company documents, like incorporation documents, bylaws, and your cap table. Investors might verify some of your assets but what’s more important to them is seeing how well you’ve organized your data room. hustlefund.vc / @hustlefundvc
