Tomas Milar, Founder of Eqvista

One of the first things an investor will ask for is your cap table. If yours is still in a manual spreadsheet, it's time for an upgrade.

Eqvista is a centralized, automated platform for tracking and managing equity. But it's much more than a cap table...

With tools ranging from valuation services, secondary stock transactions, to financial modeling, Eqvista is a one-stop shop for equity and businesses filing needs.

Many cap table tools are overly complicated and difficult to understand. What sets Eqvista apart is their commitment to providing a comprehensive and user-friendly platform that meets the needs of entrepreneurs and businesses.

Since its creation in 2018, Eqvista has onboarded over 9,000 companies to the platform. They currently add ~350 each month!

But despite all this growth, they still offer a personal touch:
