FOR FOUNDERS
Run your equity like a system,
not a side project
You started the company to build a product, not to babysit a spreadsheet. Vquity handles the three moments your cap table gets tested (the raise, the hire, the exit conversation) so equity stops costing you nights before board meetings.
What actually matters
Your equity should never be the reason a deal slows down.
Founders don't buy cap table software for the table. They buy it for the three moments the table gets tested: the raise, the hire, and the exit conversation. Vquity is built around those moments.
Raise without archaeology
The Close-Round wizard converts your SAFEs with a tested post-money solver, tops up the pool, and snapshots the before-state, in one committed step. Diligence gets a field-level diff, not a folder of "final_v3" files.
Hire without a meter
Grants go out from templates, new hires accept through a public link that produces a signed PDF, and every employee gets a portal. None of it adds a line to your invoice, because pricing is per company.
Negotiate with numbers
Model the A at two valuations, chain the B on top, and read founder proceeds at three exit values in the scenario modeler. The valuation gap stops being a feeling and becomes a number you can trade against.
Dilution, before you feel it
See what every decision costs the founders. Before you sign it.
Each SAFE you stack, each pool top-up a term sheet demands, each priced round: they all come out of the same place, founder ownership. Vquity keeps that cost visible at decision time, not at the exit.
- Chain what-if rounds on the real table and read founder percentage at every step
- Anti-dilution preview shows what full-ratchet would really cost, while the term is still negotiable
- The free dilution calculator runs the same math in your browser, no account
Diligence-proof by default
The data room builds itself while you run the company.
Every document you touch (the SAFE you sign, the consent your board passes, the grant letter Contract Studio drafts) files itself into a classified, versioned data room. When the term sheet lands, the 12-item readiness score tells you what's missing months before an investor does.
- ~120 document types, classified on upload, with AI-extracted fields you can correct
- A readiness score drawn from the checklist investors actually open with
- Select everything and hand counsel a single zip
A founder's equity week, in Vquity
Monday: a new engineer signs. Their grant starts from your template, goes out through an acceptance link, and the signed PDF files itself against the grant. Nothing was re-typed, and the pool chart already shows the new commitment.
Wednesday: an investor emails asking what their stake would be if you raised the A at $24M pre. You duplicate a scenario, move one number, and reply with the answer in minutes, without touching the live ledger.
Friday: your lawyer asks for the board consent behind March's grant batch. It's on the consent record, next to the grants it authorized, one click from the governance view. The week's equity work took less than an hour, and none of it created a version conflict, because there are no versions. There is one ledger.
The grant letter, acceptance paperwork, and consent can start from Contract Studio templates filled from records you already keep. Review every autofilled value and send the drafts to qualified counsel, so the handoff begins with consistent company and grant data instead of a blank document.
What you keep, forever
Two guarantees matter more to founders than any feature. First, your data is yours: XLSX and JSON cover company details, share classes, shareholders, rounds, grants, and warrants; CSV covers shareholders; JSON restores that structured backup; and Data Room files download as a zip. Second, the price doesn't grow with your team: one plan per company, every module, every stakeholder. The fortieth hire costs what the fourth did.
Starting from a spreadsheet or a competitor? The importer auto-detects Carta, Pulley, and AngelList exports, and the AI roster scan drafts holder records from any shareholder list you upload. Most founders are fully migrated in an afternoon.
On the roadmap
Where the founder experience goes next.
Planned work, stated as plans. We would rather show you the direction than surprise you with it.
Board pack generator
One click that assembles the ownership summary, pool status, round history, and the quarter's grants into a board-ready PDF, numbers pulled live from the ledger.
Term-sheet analyzer
Upload a term sheet and get the economics mapped against your table: effective dilution, the pool shuffle, and how the preference stack changes, before the negotiation call.
Founder mobile view
The employee mobile experience extends to founders: your fully diluted position, the pool, and the next vesting cliffs across the team, on your phone.
Frequently asked questions
I'm pre-seed with 5 shareholders. Is Vquity overkill?
No, and this is exactly the right time. A five-row cap table takes minutes to set up, and every event after that (the first SAFE, the first grant, the first transfer) lands as a clean ledger entry instead of a spreadsheet edit. Founders who start clean never have to do the painful reconstruction that founders who start in Excel eventually do. The plan is free to start, so there's no cost argument for waiting.
How long does it take to move off a spreadsheet or Carta?
Usually an afternoon. From a spreadsheet, the guided XLSX/CSV import wizard maps your columns, or you upload a shareholder list and the AI roster scan drafts the records for review. From Carta, Pulley, or AngelList, the external importer auto-detects the export format, maps holders, classes, and instruments, and de-duplicates before anything writes.
What does 'atomic' round closing actually save me?
The failure mode where a close is applied halfway: SAFEs converted but the pool never topped up, or new shares issued with no record of the before-state. Vquity runs SAFE conversion, the pool top-up, new issuances, and the pre-close snapshot as one committed operation. Either the whole close lands or none of it does, and the before-state exists by construction for diligence.
Can I model a round before committing to it?
Yes, that's the scenario modeler. Stack hypothetical rounds and exits on your real cap table, each with its own valuation, pool top-up, and anti-dilution assumptions, and compare saved scenarios side by side. Nothing touches the live ledger until you close a real round through the wizard.
What happens to my pricing as the team grows?
Nothing. Vquity is priced per company, not per stakeholder: every employee, investor, and advisor you add, and every portal you issue, is included. The platforms that price per stakeholder turn each hire into a billing event; we think that's backwards, so the meter doesn't exist.
Move your cap table off the spreadsheet.
Shareholders to SAFEs, option grants to exit modeling. One platform, priced by the company and not the head, on web and desktop.
