I wish this product was around when I started my last two companies! Huge congrats to the entire team for making this a reality. @ericries @tihomirb what are some of the most common issues you see with how early stage companies set-up their cap tables, and how can LTSE Equity help instill best practices to avoid them?

@jmilinovich thanks. one issue I see a bunch is with actually not setting up a ledger / not tracking this info explicitly. In this case, usually at some point in future there is a real business need and then this turns into a fire drill and some docs are missing or some numbers don't check out. the other common issue is with recording it properly but not using it as a reference during strategic planning for the business and this leads to surprises (say, startup is giving employees and advisors equity and properly tracking it case by case but not thinking ahead). changes on your cap table are usually hard to revert and sometimes impossible to fix properly retroactively. a simple practice for founders is to ask yourself a question how a particular decision might impact the future cap table (or how several decisions added up together may do so). If you're not clear or if there is a real impact, then you better model potential outcomes and consider multiple angles. we then try to build tools and resources that founders can use during these key startup building decisions, based on learnings we get from working directly with startups

💡 Bright idea

Congratulations on the launch!! @tihomirb @ericries 🚀 When we started to consider the sale of my previous startup, Tiho was one of the first people I consulted and we used LTSE Equity exit modeling. When I started thinking through what became LeadDelta, and Tiho helped put the angel syndicate, we raised on SAFES and used NoteGenie.io for various scenario modeling. Now that we have our pre-seed round closed, we manage the cap table on LTSE Equity! I love this product and I'd love to see more startups and founders use it. It's a no-brainer!

Congrats on the launch @tihomirb! 🚀 👌 Collaboration is everything why not collaborate on your options pool? Any serious founder should add equity.ltse.com. Game changer.

@aleksandra_fajfric that is a great question. indeed, more founders should include other experts in compensation planning, including equity-based incentives. equity is too precious to wing it.

Congratulations on the launch!!! I was looking for intuitive and reliable solution to manage our company's equity but all available solutions seems to be too complicated. LTSE looks like game-changer in this space, will definitely use it! I played a little bit with the demo and found it is ease to use and the interface is user-friendly. I was wondering, what kind of reporting and analytics does the software offer?

@teon_stamenovic1 thanks for the support and this question we provide reports in the following categories 1. compliance needs: reports for valuation purposes (eg 409A Valuation), tax related reports (701 Analysis), and financial reporting (like ASC 718) 2. cap table reporting: producing summary and detailed reports, various vesting reports, or through our support of Open Cap Table Format and our audit trail we can produce a cap table as of a point in time (or at a particular milestone, like post a previous funded round close) 3. stakeholder analysis: whether by looking at your option pool composition by role and department or looking at cap table representation through the lens of gender and race

I’ve used LTSE for dozens of investments and their self serve service is amazing. But you can also use their consulting services to support you with tricky cap tables and scenario analysis which is really helpful to ensure you make the best decision for your raise. LTSE team… any new features or services we can look forward to in the next quarter?

LTSE Equity has come a long way since the Captable.io days. I know - I worked on it for 5 years. When I joined the team, there was a dozen of us crammed into a tiny WeWork in San Francisco. We were emailing our lawyers version 23 of our cap table spreadsheet and paying them $1000 / hour to update it and email it back. We thought, there must be a better way. 5 years, 36k venture-backed startups and 1k YC companies later, LTSE Equity now has more features to automate away busywork and more expert support. And we still help all founders to get started for free. I've since left the team but I continue to use it for my new companies. So proud of what we built together.
