Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a special offer for companies switching from Pulley to Eqvista?

Yes. Companies moving from Pulley to Eqvista can get free white-glove migration, their first year of cap table management free, and a $500 credit toward their first 409A valuation.

How long does it take to switch from Pulley?

Most companies complete the switch to Eqvista within 3 to 5 business days. Our migration team manages the entire process of data mapping, transfer, error checking, and full cap table reconstruction, so there is nothing for you to configure manually. The majority of startups are fully live on Eqvista within a week of submitting their data.

When is Pulley shutting down?

Pulley has announced that it will cease all operations and services on December 8, 2026. Pulley has partnered with Carta to offer eligible customers an assisted transition, but existing customers can choose another cap table provider, including Eqvista.

What does the Eqvista free plan include?

Eqvista’s free plan covers up to 20 stakeholders with no credit card required and no expiration date. It includes core cap table management, equity tracking, and share issuance at zero cost. Pulley does not offer a free plan; their minimum commitment starts at $1,200 per year for the Startup tier. When your company is ready to grow, upgrading to Eqvista Premium or 409A is straightforward.

How does Eqvista’s pricing compare to Pulley?

Eqvista’s pricing is transparent and publicly listed. The Premium plan starts at $2 per stakeholder per month for companies with fewer than 50 stakeholders, while 409A valuation plans start at $990.

Before announcing its shutdown, Pulley’s Startup plan started at $1,200 per year, while its Growth plan started at $3,500 per year and included access to 409A valuations. Pulley has since announced that it will cease operations on December 8, 2026, so these former plans should not be considered an ongoing alternative to Eqvista.

What data can Eqvista migrate from Pulley?

Eqvista can migrate your existing Pulley cap table, including stakeholders, shares and other securities, stock options and equity plans, SAFEs and convertible instruments, vesting schedules, and historical transactions. Our migration team reconstructs and validates the cap table before your company goes live on Eqvista.

Do I have to rebuild my cap table after leaving Pulley?

No. Eqvista provides white-glove cap table migration, so you don’t have to manually recreate your ownership history. Our team maps your Pulley data, reconstructs the cap table in Eqvista, checks it for accuracy, and works with you to validate the final setup before going live.

Can investors and lawyers access my cap table on Eqvista?

Yes. Eqvista gives you full control over who sees your cap table and at what level. You can grant secure, role-based access to investors, attorneys, board members, and any other stakeholders, each with permissions tailored to their role. Employees and shareholders get a dedicated portal to view their own equity details, including vesting schedules, share certificates, and ownership summaries, without needing to reach out to your team directly.

What if I need a 409A valuation urgently?

Eqvista’s Rapid Response (Tiger) Team handles expedited 409A requests with turnaround in as little as 1 business day, starting at $490. A dedicated analyst is assigned to your submission from the moment it comes in. To get the fastest possible delivery, have your financial statements, cap table, incorporation documents, and funding history ready before you submit. Standard turnaround for non-urgent requests is 5 to 10 business days.

What is Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® and does Pulley offer something similar?

Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® provides ongoing estimates of your company’s fair market value using AI/ML-powered analysis, company financials, market data, and expert oversight. It gives companies a way to monitor changes in valuation between formal 409A valuations and better understand how company and market developments may affect their value.

Pulley did not offer an equivalent real-time valuation feature. Its FMV was available through the 409A valuation process rather than through an ongoing valuation tool.

Eqvista’s platform is truly a simple and easy to use one. We are now able to provide great levels of transparency to our employees, who can now access all equity related information on a single platform. This has also helped them understand the value better and take more informed decisions. The team at Eqvista also personifies service quality.
