Features
Compliance tools that track Rule 701
Generate QSBS attestation letter based off your cap table data
Track exemptions
See your position against all three Rule 701 limits at once, calculated from the grants already on your cap table.
Catch limits early
A clear status flags when you are approaching a limit, before your next grant pushes you over.
Monitor $10M threshhold
A separate tab tracks your running total toward the $10M disclosure obligation.
Value every grant directly
Options, RSUs, and RSAs are each valued by the right method using your 409A data.
Count the right grants
Active, exercised, and lapsed grants count automatically; cancelled grants are excluded and repricing resets the clock.
Export your position
Download the full grant detail behind each test to CSV for your records or your counsel.
