Centralized cap table
Maintain a single, real-time view of ownership and equity distribution
Equity & Cap Table Management System for Startups
Bring clarity and control to your startup’s equity and ownership structure.
Trusted by clients worldwide
Context
As startups raise funds and expand teams, equity structures become harder to manage. Multiple stakeholders, funding rounds, and ESOP allocations create complexity that spreadsheets cannot reliably handle. Without a clear system, even small errors can create serious financial and legal issues.
Who this is for
We work best with teams who treat software as an operating system for the business, not a one-off project.
Good fit
- Startups managing multiple funding rounds
- Founders handling ESOPs and investor allocations
- Teams preparing for due diligence or audits
- Companies needing clear ownership visibility
- Startups scaling equity structures with growth
Not a fit
- Early-stage ideas without formal equity structure
- Startups with very simple single-founder ownership
- Teams not planning fundraising or ESOP allocation
- Businesses comfortable managing equity manually
The operating reality
Equity complexity creates risk and confusion
Cap tables managed manually often lead to incorrect ownership data, unclear dilution, and inconsistent records. Founders struggle to track changes across funding rounds, while investors and employees lack visibility. This creates friction during fundraising, audits, and decision-making, reducing trust and increasing risk.
How this is usually solved
