Washington Draws the AI Regulatory Map

US VCs raised $34B+ in new mega-funds and poured money into cybersecurity at a pace that suggested they've stopped asking that question entirely. The White House handed them a regulatory gift: a framework to kill state AI oversight before it gets expensive.

Our Mission

To transform noise into a signal

We strive to build a community around the people doing the real work. The AI and tech landscape generates endless headlines, funding announcements, product launches, policy shifts, and breathless predictions. Most coverage either repeats press releases or chases hype.

The Cap table exists to do the harder work: connect dots across domains, question narratives that don't hold up, and surface the patterns that matter before they're obvious. We believe our readers are smart enough to handle nuance, skepticism, and uncertainty and deserve analysis that respects their intelligence and time.

But insight alone isn't enough. We're building a community where founders and investors learn from each other, where striving entrepreneurs find the connections and visibility they need, and where the next generation of builders gets a seat at the table. Not just the ones who already have it.
