Capbase

Capbase is a company that has developed a digital governance platform to assist start-ups with incorporating and launching their company. Its stated mission is to transform how start-ups are launched and funded. The company develops solutions that help growing businesses run their companies using standardized, vetted legal agreements.

The features of Capbase's platform include incorporation and company setup tools, employee stock plans, compliance alerts to automatically notify users of regulatory and tax forms filing dates for state and federal officials, and cap table management, which allows users to model their cap tables without manually entering data.

The platform gives users access to tools for finding prospective investors and asking for introductions. It also allows them to manage their relationships with those investors using their investor CRM.

Its fundraising portal allows users to sign term sheets and receive wire transfers from investors. Users can export financial documents and corporate paperwork for investor and acquisition due diligence with a suite of privacy and access controls.

Companies that use Capbase become eligible for discounts on products and services (Deel, AWS, Mercury, Vouch, Brex, Pilot, and HubSpot), access to a private Slack group, and office hours with the Capbase leadership team.

• Creation of an investment-grade C corp
