Problem
Companies that issue employee equity (ESOP, VSOP, phantom shares, etc.) often rely on spreadsheets and disparate documents to track cap tables, vesting schedules, and related contracts. This manual approach creates data inconsistencies, increases legal and financial risk, and makes it difficult for employees, investors, and auditors to obtain up‑to‑date information.
Solution
Finshare delivers a cloud‑based platform that consolidates all equity‑related data—cap tables, option grants, valuations, and supporting documents—into a single, auditable repository. The system automates vesting calculations, dilution modeling, and tax‑document storage while providing each employee with a secure portal to view their holdings, vesting progress, and valuation history. Real‑time updates ensure that any change in ownership structure is instantly reflected across all reports, supporting rapid preparation for financing rounds or due‑diligence audits. The platform is hosted on a German ISO 27001‑certified cloud provider and complies with GDPR, guaranteeing data protection for both the company and its workforce. A subscription model scales with the number of employees, allowing startups and midsize firms to adopt modern equity administration without extensive legal or IT resources.
Target Audience
Finshare is aimed at startups and small‑to‑mid‑size enterprises that run employee equity programs, as well as their finance, HR, and legal teams responsible for cap‑table governance.
