Cap table modeling, my friend, is a fancy term for a spreadsheet that startups use to keep track of who owns what in the company. It's like a ledger of the company's equity and it's used to calculate things like ownership percentages, dilution, and payout scenarios in various funding rounds or exits.

Now, as for resources to learn about this, you're in luck! The WSO has a Venture Capital Bootcamp that covers Cap Table Modeling among other things. It's a 4-hour course that dives into topics like cohorts, ARR, and of course, cap table modeling.

Additionally, there's also the Venture Capital Master Package which includes 3 courses on VC, Excel, and PPT. This could be a great resource for you to get a comprehensive understanding of the field.

Remember, knowledge is power, especially in an interview. Good luck!
