“Startup equity is broken.

I take 5-6 product support calls on Tues & Thurs with founders/CFOs who need help with their cap table & fundraising.”

“Can someone please make an AI generated clone of cap table management software? Make it simple, secure and $1000/yr.

There are apparently 40k customers waiting to adopt it rn…”

"@FairmintCo is actively working to launch a full-fledged cap table offering based on the open standards described by Alex. It's about time we fully commoditize cap tables 🔥"

“Good example of AI being deflationary: build a cheap AI alt to Carta, wait quietly for Carta to implode, change the industry standard to something that costs 1/100th of the price of Carta!”

“The reason I wanted to churn from Carta

I like the software, but I and my team use it probably 20 times in a year.

And paying it $5K/year based on number of investors seemed like an unfair pricing strategy.”

“Why haven't the captable SaaS companies made it 1-click to share all of the information with VC fund's auditors?

Kind of dumb that I have all this digitally stored and I'm signing a Docusign and manually filling out the same numbers again and again.”

“Cap table management tool:  essentially Excel on steroids

Market status:  nearing commoditization

Next step:  Cap table management as a free feature for all founders

The future:  Transparent and of course, onchain..."

“Interesting … [OCF] open source captable data format. If next-gen Carta alternatives standardize on this, we can see a lot less data lock-in and more portability.

Hopefully this can be extended to support more data model adjacencies.”

“'Having (...) data is not an advantage if we can’t use it. And it is a disadvantage if people think we use it.'

Carta exiting secondaries is a great example of data as a liability -- sth
@VitalikButerin has been saying for years. Crypto can solve this.”
