Bring structure to ESOPs as your company grows

Different stages of growth require different levels of control across grants, vesting, and ownership visibility.

Grant creation & allocation

Create and manage ESOP grants with structure from day one. Allocate options against approved pools and avoid over-allocation as your team grows.

Handling complex vesting

Define and manage vesting across teams without complexity. Handle cliffs, custom schedules, and overlapping hiring cycles with real-time visibility.

Giving employees clarity

Give employees a clear view of their equity. Help them understand what they own, how it vests, and how it evolves over time without manual updates.

Managing exits cleanly

Handle exits consistently without breaking your records. Process cancellations and exercises while maintaining a complete audit trail.

Equity management built for governance

As companies grow, ESOP activity becomes part of a broader ownership structure that must remain accurate, transparent, and audit-ready.

Connected ownership updates

Every ESOP event, grants, exercises, and pool changes, flows directly into your cap table. Ownership updates automatically, so dilution always remains accurate.

Governance-ready equity records

Maintain structured, time-stamped records across all equity activity. Be prepared for audits, diligence, and investor reviews without last-minute reconciliation.

Accurate dilution and reporting

Understand how ESOP activity impacts ownership in real time. Reports reflect current cap table data, giving consistent views for internal and external stakeholders.
