What To Expect

Choosing the right equity platform means knowing exactly how your data, your stakeholders, and your records will be treated.

These are our promises so you can have peace of mind.

Your cap table data stays private

Pulley's sales and support teams cannot access your stakeholder data without your permission.

Your records are not shared, sold, or used for any purpose outside administering your account. If you want to grant access, you control when and to whom.

What you see is what you pay

Pulley has a simple per stakeholder rate with no hidden fees for standard reports, compliance tools, or integrations.

Our agreements don't come with arbitrary annual price increases, and multi-year terms are available so your finance team can forecast accurately.

We will never contact your employees or investors without your consent 

Pulley will not contact your employees, option holders, or investors for marketing, product research, or any other purpose without your explicit permission.

Pulley is a system of record, not a data business

Pulley doesn't generate revenue through data monetization. Our business model is straightforward: you pay a subscription, we provide the tools and support to manage your equity.

Pulley is SOC 2 Type II certified, with continuous compliance monitoring and an annual third-party audit. Your equity records are protected under the same standards used by enterprise financial software.

Having a source of truth for token distribution is by far the most beneficial part of using Pulley. It's easy to understand when tokens are vesting when they are being distributed, who has received or exercised options, and who hasn’t. Highly recommended for anyone in the crypto space.

Ari Litan

Advisor and Former COO at LayerZero

I absolutely love Pulley and recommend it to every client! The pro forma modeling tool can save a startup thousands by making it easy to quickly and effectively model how each SAFE or convertible note impacts the cap table. Pulley has become an essential part of any pre-Series A financing.

Kelly Boyd

Attorney at Montgomery Pacific

Pulley has proven to be a valuable partner in streamlining and managing our token operations on a single platform. Their outstanding customer support also made the transition extremely easy for our team.

Kent Toy

VP of Finance

Pulley was promoting their service with a simpler/faster onboarding process and I can confirm that it was really smooth. The rep was friendly and walked me through the process. We had every feature in Pulley we needed thus far (at seed stage, with a sizable team). The interface is simple, good UX, etc.

“I like the fact that we can use our own documents, especially for options. Combine that and other features with the competitive pricing and you have a win.”
