Ask HN: Startup founders, how do you track your cap table and calculate equity?

• andrewstuart 3y ago
  I'm wondering if anyone has any favorite tools for calculating SAFEs, option pools, priced rounds etc. Presumably as you are raising capital you need to be able to instantly model out the implications of for example adding a SAFE and its cap and discount. I'm envisaging a calculator that runs on a phone, perhaps an app?

  I heard good things about Carta. I haven't used it though. https://carta.com https://carta.com

  Spreadsheet(s)...

    I would have thought there would be vast numbers of calculators built for this. I’m surprised actually that YC doesn’t offer one.

  In addition to Carta (which has a sentiment of being overpriced), there's also https://pulley.com https://pulley.com [1], and LTSE Equity [2] [3] (formerly Captable.io). And spreadsheets.
