Cap table
A cap table that is always free.
A world-class cap table, free forever, with unlimited seats. Shares, SAFEs, notes and ownership that updates itself, so the table you show an investor is always right — not last quarter’s spreadsheet.
No credit card. Not a trial.
Every holder on one ledger: founders, investors, the option pool and employees, with ownership and fully diluted % that recalculate on every change.
What it is
Cap table
Grow’s cap table is free startup equity management with unlimited seats: ownership, securities and valuations in one live ledger. Issue SAFEs and convertible notes, model priced rounds and exit waterfalls, run option pools with vesting, and record 409A valuations — every change recalculates ownership instantly, so the cap table is never out of date.
Securities
SAFEs, notes and priced rounds
Issue and track every instrument on the same ledger. When a round prices, SAFEs and notes convert automatically at the terms you set, and ownership updates across every stakeholder.
- SAFE and convertible-note issuance
- Automatic conversion on a priced round
- Priced-round and pro-rata modeling
- Stakeholder ledger with certificates
Modeling
Model the round before you raise it
See dilution, new-money ownership and the post-money table before you sign a term sheet. Model an option-pool top-up, and run the exit waterfall so every stakeholder’s payout is clear.
- Round and dilution scenarios
- Option-pool shuffle modeling
- Exit and liquidation waterfalls
- Side-by-side scenario comparison
Equity plans
Option pools and vesting, handled
Create the pool, grant options, and let vesting schedules run themselves. Employees see their own equity in a self-serve portal, and 83(b) and tax details live alongside the grant.
- Option pools and grants
- Cliff and monthly vesting schedules
- Employee equity portal
- 83(b) election tracking
Valuations
AI 409A estimates
Model a 409A estimate from your real financials and comparable rounds for internal planning, and record your independent appraisal straight onto the cap table so strike prices and reporting stay consistent.
- AI 409A estimate for planning
- Appraisals recorded on the cap table
- Audit trail of every change
- Board-ready equity reporting

Grow vs Carta
Cap table, or one more tool.
Dedicated cap-table platforms manage equity well, but they sit apart from your raise: the investors on the table are not the investors in your CRM, and the data room they open is somewhere else entirely. In Grow the cap table is the spine the rest of the platform is built on.
| Grow | A standalone cap-table tool | |
|---|---|---|
| Price to start | Free, unlimited seats | Paid tiers, often priced by stakeholder count |
| SAFEs, notes and round modeling | Included | Included |
| Investors on the table are your CRM | Same records, one system | Separate tool |
| Data room and e-signatures | Built in, no extra tool | Separate tool or add-on |
| AI 409A valuation | Included | Paid add-on or separate filing |
| Seats for advisors, lawyers and investors | Unlimited, free | Often per-seat |

One platform
Cap table doesn’t work alone.
Cap table shares one source of truth with the rest of Grow, so the work compounds instead of scattering across tools. A few places it connects:
Financials
Financials
Sync the books, model the scenario, and produce the board-ready view. Runway, burn and revenue in one place — never re-keyed into a spreadsheet again.
ExploreInvestor portal
Investor portal
Their position, their documents, your latest update — in one branded place. You decide exactly what each investor sees, down to the field.
ExploreCompliance
Compliance
The records a diligence request asks for — equity, elections, access logs — are already in order, because governance is built into the platform, not bolted on after.
ExploreFAQ
Common questions.
- Is Grow’s cap table free?
- Yes, and not as a trial. Shares, SAFEs, notes and ownership are free forever, with unlimited seats for cofounders, advisors, investors and counsel. Option pools, vesting, exit waterfalls and 409A valuations come with Starter; the paid plans add the rest of the fundraising platform, never a bill for the cap table itself.
- Can I import an existing cap table from Carta or a spreadsheet?
- Yes. You can import your existing stakeholders, securities and rounds from a spreadsheet or another cap-table provider and reconcile them before going live.
- Does Grow handle SAFE conversions automatically?
- Yes. SAFEs and convertible notes convert automatically when you model or close a priced round, at the caps, discounts and terms you set, and ownership recalculates across every stakeholder.
- Can employees see their own equity without seeing the whole cap table?
- Yes. Employees and advisors get a self-serve equity portal that shows only their own grants, vesting and value — they never see the full cap table.
- Does Grow provide 409A valuations?
- Grow computes an AI 409A estimate from your financials and comparable rounds for internal planning. It is not an appraisal and cannot price an option grant. Grow helps you prepare for an independent 409A — readiness, narrative and the submission bundle — and records the appraisal on the cap table so strike prices and reporting stay consistent.
