About CapDaddy
We got tired of the bill.
So we built the alternative.
CapDaddy exists because cap table software costs too much for what it is. We ran our own companies on the incumbent platforms, watched the invoice climb with every stakeholder and every feature toggle, and decided a ledger shouldn't cost thousands of dollars a year. So we built a better one: complete, secure, and priced like a tool instead of a toll.
Why we decided to build this
Every startup needs a cap table. Very few can justify what the incumbents charge for one: plans that start in the thousands per year, per-stakeholder pricing that taxes you for growing, migration fees for the privilege of leaving, and the features you actually need (board consents, 409A tracking, compliance calendars) held behind the next tier up.
We've been on every side of that arrangement: issuing the grants, signing the consents, and paying the invoices. The software never felt worth the bill, and the bill never stopped growing. At some point “someone should fix this” became “fine, we will.”
So CapDaddy is the cap table platform we wanted to buy and couldn't: everything a company needs from formation through priced rounds (issuance, vesting, governance, e-signature, compliance, modeling, exports) at one reasonable flat price, whether you're two founders with a spreadsheet or a hundred stakeholders deep. Small to big, without the enterprise invoice.
Who we are
A small team. On purpose.
We're a small, dedicated crew of engineers, CEOs, and executives who've spent careers building and running companies, and paying for software like this. We keep our names off the page deliberately: the product is the point, and your cap table doesn't care about our headshots.
The engineers
Ledger nerds who believe your equity records deserve the same rigor as your bank's: append-only, tamper-evident, and exact to the share.
The CEOs
Founders who've raised the rounds, run the boards, and paid the incumbent invoices, and knew exactly what they'd rather have signed up for.
The executives
Operators who've administered equity at every scale and wanted the compliance calendar to run itself instead of billing by the reminder.
Built in Lexington, South Carolina
Not San Francisco. Not New York. We build from Lexington, SC, which means no Bay Area burn rate hiding in your subscription. It's part of how one flat, reasonable price covers the whole product.
What we believe
The principles the product is built on
Priced like a tool, not a toll
One flat, reasonable price with every feature a startup needs: no per-stakeholder tax, no surprise tiers, from your first grant to your Series C.
Easy in, easy out
Free, penny-perfect migration in. Full exports out, anytime. Software should earn your renewal, not hold your data hostage.
Security is structure
An append-only, hash-chained ledger with passkey-gated changes and database-enforced tenant isolation. The guarantees live in the architecture, not a policy PDF.
Small to big
A free tier that's genuinely useful, and a Pro tier that carries you through options, governance, compliance, and live rounds. The product grows with you; the bill barely moves.
