Startup Compliance & ESOP Administration
Compliance and reporting for funded startups
Startups don’t fail diligence because the business is bad. They fail it because the ESOP grants were made by email, the cap table lives in three inconsistent spreadsheets, FC-GPR wasn’t filed on the last round, and the board resolutions for decisions everyone remembers taking were never actually written.
We keep the corporate record straight from seed onwards, so that when the term sheet arrives the diligence is a formality rather than a fire drill.
