Capdesk streamlines equity management by automating cap tables, statutory registers, and various modelings, allowing clients to align stakeholders by giving them easy access to ownership information, share certificates, option vesting schedules, investment amounts, and latest values. The London-based company was established in 2015 and offers a unique cap table software complemented by a suite of features that turn equity, options, and warrants into a tangible bonus for employees and a powerful method for employers to incentivize their workforce. In September 2022, Capdesk merged with US industry leaders Carta to create a global equity management solution, empowering businesses worldwide to scale without borders and democratizing ownership in private companies.
