> At my startup we currently have 2 classes of shares. Class A is a "super voting" share with 10 votes and Class B is a common share with 1 vote. Pretty standard nowadays.

That only works if your CEO is a superhero. Just because Ford, Google, and Facebook did it does not mean you can.

There was a time when the NYSE wouldn't list a stock with more than one kind of share, but they caved on that some years ago due to competition from NASDAQ.

I appreciate the feedback. You're probably right but it gives us something to dream about. But assuming we do have this cap table, how will investors want to purchase preferred shares in the company?
