Cake Equity
Cake Equity is an equity management platform that helps startups and growing companies manage their cap table, equity compensation, and compliance in one place. It moves with a company from its first SAFE or option grant through complex funding rounds, giving founders, finance, legal, and employees one system to stay aligned as the company scales. Designed as a system of action, Cake brings cap table management, stock option and ESOP administration, equity plan design, and built-in compliance into a single platform, with automated workflows and intelligent insights that surface what matters before teams have to ask. Core capabilities include: - Cap table management and modeling: a real-time cap table with scenario modeling for funding rounds, SAFE conversions, and exits. - Stock option and ESOP administration: grant issuance, vesting schedules, and equity plan management in one place. - Built-in compliance: 409A valuations, ASC 718 reporting, and board approval workflows for audit-ready records. - Automated document workflows: document generation, scanning, and contract editing that reduce manual equity admin. - Employee equity education: built-in tools that help employees understand what they own, how their equity works, and why it matters. What sets Cake apart is motivation. Beyond managing equity, Cake gives every stakeholder a reason to care about it: founders get a cap table they can trust, finance and legal teams get audit-ready reporting and faster document workflows, and employees get real clarity on their ownership.
