Pulley is SIMPLE to use, customer service is outstanding, and the Pulley Team will work with you.
The price was. a bit higher than I like, but it was worth it.
None.
Pulley has a very simple, logical and clean layout. The function you need is often just one click away. The Cap Table "Summary" gives a bird's-eye view of fully diluted ownership while the "Detail" helps you track the history. The Data Room helps store and organize all the key legal documents related to share issuance, conversion and option grants, etc. The onboarding team is truly awesome, very knowledgable, thorough, responsive and patient. They are always standing by to answer any questions and follow up with our legal details to ensure our cap table is 100% accurate.
None so far. Pulley has provided much and more than I expected in terms of user experience and support. When we completed the onboarding process, we were 95% ready for our auditor's requests on equities and stock options, saving tremendous time on both sides.
The Pulley onboarding process helps us sort out the history of our fundraising events, organize the essential legal supporting docs, and bridge the gaps between the books and different versions of excel cap tables. The final result of the onboarding is not only accurate but also easy to read and to communicate with various stakeholders, and definitely, our auditor highly appreciates it!
Pulley is very easy to use, with a well designed dashboard. Views and reports at the click of a button. The onboarding staff was great to work with and very responsive throughout the process, and they were able to manage all of our complexities along the way.
No complaints thus far. We are still in the early stages since we imported to Pulley, but we have not come across any issues with any of the features we have used to date.
We have a very large investor base, and we were trying to manage our cap table in spreadsheets. Pulley has allowed us to automate the process and will allow us to better communicate with our shareholders.
The layout of the Dashboard is very simple and easy to read. The program itself is very user friend, editing and adding information is very easy to do and customer support has been incredibly responsive and helpful.
We're still in the beginning stages but so far we don't have any dislikes. Everything seems to be operating great and if we do have any issues or questions they have been addressed right away.
Pulley is helping us to keep accurate records while all of our admin of Pulley are still able to see all updates all the time, which has been extremely helpful. Pulley is also a great space for us to keep our stockholder's investments organized and available for not only our company but the individuals themselves.
Customer service, definitely. Their team give us a great experience as users.
There are some features that are not still available. Hopefully they will soon. RSU certificates with double trigger for example.
We have our cap table organized and all documents in the same place. Also, our stockholders can follow the status of their securities
It’s so easy to track everything with Pulley. Giving options to your employees, seeing who’s exercised them, repurchases, terminations etc. It always surprises me how much they offer for their price point. Their customer service is also exceptional. I also really appreciate how their Growth Plan includes 409 valuations.
Support can sometimes be slower on the weekends.
Almost any process I need to do that affects or has to do with the equity of my company I can do right in Pulley. Fabulous platform.
Pulley is easy to use in every way, but my favorite feature is the modeling. Pulley modeling allows a founder to actually see the dilutive impact of each SAFE or Convertible Note she or he enters into prior to doing the deal. It is flexible and able to correctly model pre or post-money SAFEs as well as option pools in a matter of seconds. An incredible time and money saver. Pulley is truly an essential tool.
Nothing that I know of so far. Pulley just needs increased adoption to become the standard.
My favorite problem that Pulley solves is to spare the time and energy it takes either the founder or their legal counsel struggling with an excel spreadsheet trying to model what is happening to a Company's cap table with each new SAFE. Pulley accomplishes in seconds what would otherwise take hours.
As a fast-growing company reducing the time required to manage our cap table was an immediate win. The cap table view allows us to show the different types of investors in a single view with quick access to all related documents and agreements. I appreciate the built-in workflow to gain approval from board members and stockholders. A real upside with Pulley is the easy-to-use Fund Raising Modelling to perform "what-if analysis" for different fundraising scenarios without the need for spreadsheets. From a company perspective, Pulley support will jump in at any point to help. For time-critical items, we also like the context-sensitive videos to self-serve.
At this point, we haven't come across any sort coming of Pulley. We look forward to seeing how Pulley takes the solution forward to support and advise smaller companies through all growth phases.
Provide investors with accurate and current cap table, reduce effort and legal costs related to the management of our cap table, modeling future rounds to understand the impact on ownership.
Everything about Pulley is fast and simple - great for busy founders. Onboarding took less than a day. 409A valuation is underway and I expect to hear back in less than five days. Their product provides consumer-grade UX, so it is easy to understand and use.
Nothing I can think about off the top of my head.
I’ve used other platforms as an employee, and wish we had had Pulley. They make it easy for me to manage everything that happens before the equity management stage: calculating dilution during fundraising, giving employees an offer letter, form documents, and more.
We have been using Pulley for our startup after trying other cap table software companies on the market. We think that Pulley is the best software available to manage your cap table on the market that is very user-friendly and easy to use with excellent and prompt customer service and support.
We have no dislikes so far and have been very satisfied with Pulley's software and customer support. They are very prompt at responding to any questions and concerns, and the onboarding process by their support team was very comprehensive and organized. They have the best onboarding and support versus the other cap table software companies.
We have been managing our cap table and equity through Pulley. We find it very easy to manage our cap table and administer equity in an organized manner and have an overview of everything on the Pulley dashboard versus using the traditional spreadsheet method and keep on updating, calculating, and organizing your cap table and equity issuance and administration with physical share certificates.
The onboarding process was pain free as Pulley literally took care of moving our whole system across
it's a little expensive but the onboarding and CS makes up for it
We're able to manage our cap table and add new stakeholders very easily + we can model out our fundraising with confidence
Extremely easy onboarding and 409a valuation.
No current complaints. As a new startup, Pulley offers everything that I've needed to date.
Top priority (and reason fro signing up) was a 409a valuation. Working with Pulley was extremely easy and the process was much faster than what the competition said was possible. Pricing was also better. Next, I used Pulley to issue stock options to employees which was super easy.
Very easy tools to manage cap tables and understand future funding scenarios
No I do not dislike anything about the product
We have been able to manage our cap tables, share with investors and also manage our 409A valuations using Pulley. It's been the biggest value add for us for 409A's.
The Pulley platform has a great balance of power and ease of use for managing cap tables – perfect for startups. The 409A process was simple and very professionally handled. The customer service is exceptional – they migrated our data from another platform and had us running very quickly. They’ve also been very responsive to questions when we’ve needed help.
There's really nothing we don't like about Pulley.
Using Pulley has greatly simplified cap table reporting for us. Getting information to investors has been easy, and we've been able to model changes to the table based on potential investment or stock option pool scenarios.
Very clean UI/UX and amazing customer support.
They don't have all the same features as Carta quite yet but they will be there soon!
