ESOP

ESOP and vesting management, no parallel spreadsheet

Create the option pool, grant options, and track each employee's vesting day by day — cliff, acceleration, and termination all calculated automatically.

Vesting calculated by hand is vesting calculated wrong

Cliff, acceleration on termination, exercise window — every rule becomes a new spreadsheet column, and one formula mistake can give an employee more (or fewer) options than they're actually entitled to.

How it works

Create the option pool

Reserve a percentage of the cap table for the ESOP plan before you start issuing grants.

Issue grants

Set the amount, cliff, and vesting period per employee — the vested-options calculation runs automatically every day.

Termination without surprises

Record an employee's departure and instantly see how much vested, how much was forfeited, and until when they can exercise.

Who it's for

Retain talent without giving up control over the cap table.
