What you need

Your startup equity info, founder grants, convertible securities, etc.

  • Your company cap table spreadsheet or an export from an equity management software.
  • Source paperwork for your equity data, such as incorporation documents, stock purchase agreements and stock plan documents.

Step 2

Fill out the questionnaire

In addition to your equity data, your valuation analyst needs a high-level understanding of your business and your market.

To make this easy, we provide a questionnaire where you can fill in your company information and upload a few standard documents.

What you need

  • Basic company information and business pitch
  • Market information and comparable companies
  • Financials
  • Upcoming fundraising / exit plans

Step 3

Review and approve 409A report

After you submit your 409A request with equity and questionnaire data, your valuation analyst will schedule a kickoff call to discuss valuation models.

Your analyst will then submit a draft 409A report in a few days. You can ask questions and iterate on the report with your analyst.

Once you’re happy you can submit the 409A report to your Board of Directors for approval.
