The Problem
Australian founders are still managing equity in spreadsheets
Every round, every ESOP grant, every cap table update is a manual nightmare that costs time and invites errors.
⚠

Spreadsheet chaos

Founders manage cap tables in Google Sheets that break every round. One formula error can misrepresent ownership by millions.

72% of AU startups have cap table errors at Series A
💰

$15K+ legal fees per round

Lawyers manually draft share certificates, ESOP agreements, and shareholder consents for every equity event. It adds up fast.

$15,000-$40,000 in legal costs per funding round
🔒

No AU-specific tools

Carta, Pulley, and AngelList are US-only. They don't understand Australian company law, ASIC requirements, or Division 83A tax rules.

"We spent $18K in legal fees just to issue ESOP to our first 5 employees. EquityStack would have saved us 80% of that."

Priya Sharma — CTO, Series A SaaS startup

"Our cap table spreadsheet had 3 different versions floating around before our Seed round. It nearly killed the deal."

Marcus Lee — Founder, Melbourne fintech

"I looked at Carta but it literally doesn't support Australian companies. EquityStack is exactly what the ecosystem needs."

Alex Torres — Angel Investor, Sydney
