## About 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.

Cake Equity and their team - particularly Shannon - did whatever they could to onboard and help get me and my shareholders and advisors and employees all onboarded

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Issuing Deeds, ensuring shareholders are accessing the latest shareholders agreements or ESOP plan. Even checking shareholder details or the price of the last round - it. Can all live seamlessly in Cake. Use their templates or your own and upload to send receive and review the shareholdings in your company. I absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone as it makes my life as Co-Founder, CEO and general secretary a cinch.

  ### 11. Great platform, better experience here than with market leaders

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

  ### 12. Solid functionality and a super responsive team

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gavin B. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2023

**What do you like best about Cake Equity?**

Cake's feature set is exactly what we needed as a startup getting off the ground with an equity raise and an employee ESOP for the first time. Since then, it's grown alongside us and the feature set has developed.

We've always gotten great support from the team as well!

**What do you dislike about Cake Equity?**

The UI was a bit rough when we first signed up, and sometimes it wasn't obvious exactly where we should be clicking to get around the app.

However, it's improved leaps and bounds since day one and we really don't have any issues with it these days.

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We need a system to manage our cap table that doesn't involve trying to manually do spreadsheet math. I can't even imagine how we'd do what Cake does manually... it's a clear time saver.

**Official Response from Justin Granados:**

> Thanks so much, Gavin! We try our best to improve the platform for our customers. We're glad you're liking the updates and changes.

  ### 13. The best platform for managing equity and stock options for Startups

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sharon H. | Chief Technology Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Cake Equity?**

Templated agreements, easy-to-digest dashboards and simple communication methods make issuing stock, offering options and managing shareholders simple.
Also, there is excellent chat-based support from real people!

**What do you dislike about Cake Equity?**

I would love to see some additional reporting capabilities and a richer text editor for communications (at the moment you cant embed images for example), but these are small nuances, as a whole I am very happy with the platform and recommend it to all of the businesses that I work with.

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cake Equity makes the issuing of shares and the setup and offering of ESOP agreements to staff simple.  It is particularly useful for startups with a global workforce.
It is also great for planning and visualising the impact of capital raises on a business.

**Official Response from Justin Granados:**

> Appreciate the awesome feedback, Sharon! Glad we're making your equity and stock options management easier for you. We will make sure to roll out new updates to improve your experience.

  ### 14. I wish I had Cake for my last 3 startups

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vincent T. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 03, 2023

**What do you like best about Cake Equity?**

The time, cost and hassle that is removed using Cake is a gamechanger for investor funded ventures. The team regularly updates the platform and the service is impeccable.

**What do you dislike about Cake Equity?**

Don't have too many active compliants really, there is of course little features I'd like or the minor glitch I hit like any software but they tend to get on to these quickly if/once reported

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Dealing with equity management, capital raisings, options issues and vesting. It is largely about reducing the time and cost to manage all these properly. It also is making our equity work better for us by better connecting the option or equity holders to their investment/holding

  ### 15. Simplifies otherwise complex parts of running a startup

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 02, 2023

**What do you like best about Cake Equity?**

It's a really awesome tool for managing all of our cap table admin. I co-founded Shoes of Prey 15 years ago and we had to do all this stuff manually. It was time-consuming and painful to do. For Fable we use Cake Equity and genuinely love the product. It just simplifies all of this so much.

**What do you dislike about Cake Equity?**

None. It's a really useful tool and we love it.

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use it for all of our shared registry management and all the related plans and documentation. We've got all our shareholder contact details and we issue and generate all the share certificates for the shareholders. All of our employees have equity in the business and we manage our ESOP through Cake.

  ### 16. Cake makes cap tables, ESOP & investor updates simple

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vinko G. | Head of Ops, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2023

**What do you like best about Cake Equity?**

Their product makes a breeze out of managing private venture cap tables, issuing & managing ESOP (employee share scheme), and managing / updating investors with certificates, updates, etc. Additionally their team is incredible, always my (and others) go-to on startups topics like raising, ESOP and anything equity based. They are responsible & super attentive.

**What do you dislike about Cake Equity?**

Nothing really. As I work in early-stage startups, their product & service is ideally suited for it.

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I mostly use Cake as an angel investor. I find their platform by far the absolute easiest place to manage all my investments, certificates, see updates, latest rounds & cap tables etc.

  ### 17. Accountant | CFO | Angel Investor

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jamie D. | CFO | Director | Shareholder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2023

**What do you like best about Cake Equity?**

Cake is absolutely amazing. I use it everyday and is game changing.

Whether it's issuing options to the team, paying suppliers with SAFE notes or looking after share transfers. 

What takes minutes with Cake would take months if had to do it the traditional way, whilst also be costly involving different legal advisors, etc.

**What do you dislike about Cake Equity?**

Cake is ever evolving and it is a two way street with the development team who eagerly take feedback on.

I have made a few suggestions over the years and there implemented solutions are always far beyond my expectations.

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cake provides transparency to all stakeholders so they can see in real-time what their options / equity is worth, how much they own and access to company announcements. 

Through its contract engine it also makes signing documents a breeze.

**Official Response from Justin Granados:**

> Love the feedback you've been giving us, Jamie!

  ### 18. Great software which will only get better, and excellent support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Edwin C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2023

**What do you like best about Cake Equity?**

The simplicity of the layout is fantastic and the support I've received from Shannon in particular in their Customer Success team has been outstanding! I've not used other competitors in as much depth so cannot comment on that aspect.

**What do you dislike about Cake Equity?**

Some of the user interface design is still being worked on. Occasionally I've come across bugs which I've had to involve their team to resolve as it wasn't operating as expected.

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows us to record the shareholding and option holding in a coherent and consistent way, without reliance on spreadsheets. It also allows us to provide information to all relevant stakeholders easily.

  ### 19. I have been using Cake for 3 years and have referred numeorus startups to the platform.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris G. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2023

**What do you like best about Cake Equity?**

The feedback from my startup network is consistent. Cake is cheaper and easier to use than its competitors. 

The platform is set up to service founders from all regions globally. It does two things amazingly well. 1. you don't need anything else as a cap table management solution. 2. it is hands down the best tool I have seen to launch a global employee option program. 

It also has other nifty features like shareholder reporting, a feature which my investors love.

**What do you dislike about Cake Equity?**

That every startup in the world doesn't use it! 

But seriously, I wish all startups I review to invest in used Cake. It is a no-brainer for founders that want to impress investors in a seed round of funding

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Corporate hygiene. Investor relations. Management of employee options.

  ### 20. Fantastic service and support!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Darren P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2023

**What do you like best about Cake Equity?**

The Cake Equity platform is a simple, elegant solution for managing the cap. tables in my companies. Straightforward, easy to use, highly recommended AAA+++

**What do you dislike about Cake Equity?**

Nothing at all, it's brilliant. Try out the free account for yourself, I am not affiliated with Cake Equity in any way, simply a subscriber.

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The easy online management of my cap. tables and communication with shareholders is straightforward and saves a lot of time.

  ### 21. Makes important startup equity info easy and transparent.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Scott F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2023

**What do you like best about Cake Equity?**

Managing company stock options and capitalization tables is hugely important but usually so poorly managed. 

I recommend Cake Equity because it has simplified the tools and introduced transparency and easy online access that is helpful to founders, employees, and investors, too. 

It's super affordable, too.

**What do you dislike about Cake Equity?**

Ease of use for websites managing complex data like options and cap tables is really challenging. 

But Cake has done a great job of helping simplify the interfaces so employees can more easily understand the worth of the options, too.

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking equity for startups is very complex. Cake's tools make it easier. This is helpful for employers and employees, plus a lot cheaper than using lawyers and easier than using spreadsheets.

  ### 31. Cake is what Carta should be

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julien D. | Founder and CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2022

**What do you like best about Cake Equity?**

Cake is what Carta should be. It's easy to use, no need to speak to a representative every five minutes and the support actually gets stuff done.

One example is that when you have an issue with Carta, you need to call them and it gets escalated to multiple people and it takes *days* to get stuff done. With Cake, I have access to my own representative, I can book meetings with them when I want and they get things done within hours.

And the price: Cake is 10% of the price of Carta.

**What do you dislike about Cake Equity?**

Nothing, Cake is what founders need: a great system with awesome customer support that does not break the bank.

**What problems is Cake Equity solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Captable management with multiple stakeholders.
