About Pulley
Pulley is the cap table and equity management platform built as a modern alternative to Carta, focused on transparent pricing and cleaner founder UX for early-stage startups. The product covers cap tables, employee equity, 409A valuations, and board approvals; the differentiator is pricing (free up to 25 stakeholders, 1.2K USD per year for the next tier vs Carta 2.4K USD per year) and a cleaner modern UI. Vs Carta: Pulley costs less and ships better UX at early stage; Carta has broader VC adoption (most institutional investors are already on Carta). Solo founders and seed-stage companies often pick Pulley; venture-backed companies past Series A typically default to Carta because their investors are there. Y Combinator-funded, used by 5K plus startups and growing.
