Frequently asked questions

Are you a replacement for our equity management platform?

No, we maintain your equity management platform for you. We would be doing the same administrative tasks that you or your lawyer would be doing.

Do I have to use an equity management platform?

Yes. At this time our offering is only available for users of equity management platforms. If you are using another product and are interested in Stock Admin, please get in touch.

Are you a replacement for our lawyers?

It's important to remember that we are NOT replacing your lawyers. However, we do perform the administrative tasks that a paralegal or junior associate at your law firm would typically do to manage your cap table. You should retain your lawyers to continue to provide legal advice and drafting of agreements.

How do you work with our lawyers?

When we identify the need for lawyer participation with a particular item, we work side-by-side with your lawyer to get sound advice so you can make a well informed decision.

What stock admin services do you offer?

We cover anything having to do with the management of your cap table. That includes: recording stock or option grants to new hires, seeking board approvals, repurchasing unvested shares when an employee leaves, managing stock transfers, issuing securities to your investors, and more.

How does pricing work?

Our annual prepaid pricing is determined by your hiring plans. We will tailor a plan based on your projected hiring needs for the next six months. Any additional hours required beyond the base subscription will be billed monthly as needed.

Who qualifies for the Founders Tier?

The Founders Tier is free for pre-seed companies with up to five founders on the cap table and no outside investors or employee option grants yet.

What happens when my company grows beyond the Founders Tier?

When you add your first outside investor or employee option grant, you'll move to a paid stock admin plan. We'll reach out directly to walk you through your options before anything changes.

Do I need to be working with a certain payroll provider?

Yes. We currently support customers who work with Rippling, Gusto, Warp, ADP, Sequoia One, or Justworks.
