Cake's Team plan includes two (2) 409A valuations per year at no extra cost. See Pricing.
The 3-business-day turnaround is standard, not an expedited upgrade. Some providers charge extra to move faster than their normal 2-to-4-week timeline.
🍰 On Cake, speed comes from your cap table data already being in the platform, so there's no separate export or re-entry step before the appraiser can start.
A 1:1 consultation with a dedicated valuator is included. You get to review the valuation result, what it means for your option grant pricing, and what inputs drove the conclusion, and any other questions you might have.
Traditional standalone 409A providers typically charge $3,000 to $5,000 for a comparable assessment, on top of a longer, more manual data-gathering process.
Cake's extremely fast and simple to use. And 409A valuation comes as part of the package!
