Simple cap table management — free for early-stage startups
Pulley is a cap table and equity management platform built as a simpler, cheaper alternative to Carta. Free for companies with under $1M raised and fewer than 25 stakeholders. Covers SAFEs, convertible notes, option pools, 409A valuations, and investor reporting. Popular with early-stage founders who find Carta overkill.
Best for
Use when
You want professional cap table software without Carta's pricing — especially for managing SAFEs and building out your first option pool.
Skip when
You have a US entity and are raising a Series A — Carta is more universally accepted by institutional investors at that stage.
Accessible globally. Particularly useful for African founders with US Delaware entities who want Carta-like cap table management at zero cost in the early stages.
