Not just a pile of files for you to fill out, our document generation service breaks up form-filling tasks into easy-to-complete batches.

Sophisticated cap tables
Sure, there are dozens of cap tables out there. But the SUP’s Debt Equity Model cap table, built by a venture investor and battle-tested by hundreds of startups, is unlike any other. All three versions come with SUP.
All three cap tables are included in SUP Academy. Enroll Now.
three versions for the latest modeling
With three versions, you can use the cap table most appropriate for your startup:
- Post Money: For use with post-money SAFEs
- Traditional: For pre-money SAFEs
- Y Combinator stake: For use if the incubator has a stake in your startup
Next-level calculations
The SUP cap tables include calculations that accurately track equity ownership, taking into account individual vesting schedules of stock grants, ensuring you know who has what at any time.
ACCURATELY TRACK SAFEs AND NOTES
As a founder, your early investors’ SAFEs and convertible notes affect your ownership share as you take on additional investments. Our cap tables accurately track founders’ dilution and help you make wise choices when giving up more equity for funding.
integrated with all of SUP
Our SUP Academy online education program guides you through every choice you’ll make when building your cap table. And when you’re ready, experienced venture lawyers can review your cap table before you lock it and form your company.
