{"id":64206,"title":"Pulley - Cap table management for founders \u0026 employees","tagline":"Pulley provides the tools and insights to make smarter decisions about your equity","body":"Traditional cap tables have been siloed in spreadsheets and managed by legal teams. Pulley is the cap table and equity management platform purpose-built for founders and employees. We give companies the tools and insights to make smarter, more informed decisions about their equity.\n\n### **Why equity management?**\n\nEquity is a company's single most important asset. This means the best cap table solution must be more than just a record-keeper. Pulley gives companies insights into their ownership, so they can make smarter decisions around hiring and fundraising, while proactively staying ahead of tax filings and accounting.\n\n### **How does Pulley work?**\n\nFor early stage companies, Pulley helps founders avoid expensive equity mistakes and save thousands on legal fees. With Pulley, you can compare different funding scenarios, raise capital, and set up equity grants for employees. This means you can get started on fundraising and hiring _before your first round._\n\nOur tools help companies answer important questions such as:\n\n* How much of the company will I own after my next round.\n* How will pro-rata rights impact my ownership in future rounds?\n* How do I explain the value of equity to candidates?\n\nAs your company grows, we help employees understand the value of equity and handle complex tax paperwork. We also help companies save time by streamlining complex workflows, reducing the need for other tools, and eliminating the need for manual updates.\n\n### **What next?**\n\nPulley is on a mission to make it easier for anyone to start a company and envisions a future with more founder-led companies and employee-owners.\n\n_Want to join our mission?_ Learn more about [our culture here](https://twitter.com/yinyinwu/status/1334957013558673408), and view open positions at \u003chttps://jobs.ashbyhq.com/Pulley\u003e\n\n_Want us to build your cap table?_ Visit us at \u003chttps://www.pulley.com\u003e\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=64206\u0026key=user_uploads/26455/73ccd8fb-3ed8-4b30-9f57-59c90a377c6c)\n\n","slug":"Gha-pulley-cap-table-management-for-founders-employees","created_at":"2022-06-30T00:30:14.812Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T02:07:46.945Z","total_vote_count":36,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Gha-pulley-cap-table-management-for-founders-employees","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":13097,"name":"Pulley","slug":"pulley","url":"https://pulley.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/fd054107f9f3c5fe1a4467b373a02100019ccfe6.png","batch":"Winter 2020","industry":"B2B","tags":[],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/13097"}}
