Over 40,000 founders trust LTSE Equity for long-term equity management.
Also known as cap table software, equity management software centralizes all equity-related activities. From as early as Demo Day and ultimately to IPO, founders use this software to build and maintain cap tables, issue and manage equity, model potential scenarios, and so on.
One such platform is Shareworks, a software used by public and private companies to manage their employee stock options and cap tables. Its dashboard readily displays critical information that can be quickly read at a glance.
LTSE Equity is created for founders, by founders—including The Lean Startup’s Eric Ries. As such, its full suite of equity management solutions and guidance are founded on real-life experience and insights.
As you browse through the many choices available today, keep these questions in mind to help you zero in on your ideal software.
Having multiple features means nothing if its ease of use doesn’t measure up. The right software should be easy to learn and understand, featuring complex functions that empower rather than bog you down.
Startups never stay static, so look for a full-stack solution that will scale with your company as it grows from early-stage seed funding to Series A and beyond.
Equity management is complex, so save yourself from potential pitfalls and headaches with software that offers professional support.
Appraisals such as 409A valuations can only be completed by independent third-party professionals. To minimize risk, cost, and confusion, pick software that is already partnered with independent providers.
Good equity management software is built with compliance in mind—notifying you of any updates and assisting in filling out your cap table. This should include Rule 701 analysis and Form 3921 readiness.
