Eqvista for Accelerators and Incubators

Every year, incubators and accelerators nurture numerous ambitious founders. For instance, Y Combinator has backed over 5,000 startups, including as many as 750 in 2021 alone. But are incubators and accelerators equipping founders with the right financial tools to scale and attract investors?

Managing equity manually is a time sink. Founders can lose up to 6 hours a week juggling spreadsheets instead of focusing on growth. That’s why accelerators and incubators should empower their startups with Eqvista’s cap table software subscription that streamlines equity management and ensures compliance from day one.
