Equipboard is a company that participated in the Capital Factory 2013 cohort.

Equipboard is an online database of music artists and their respective gear. It was founded on September 30, 2013, by Giulio Chiarenza and Michael Pierce.

Equipboard's content is crowdsourced by fans, musicians, and retailers. The database is searchable by artist, discipline, gear type, and keyword. Each item of gear listed on an artist’s equipboard includes a citation to either a news source, photo, or social-media posting that definitively links the item to the artist. Gear entries feature ratings and reviews by the Equipboard community as well as links to authorized retailers.

The site also offers a library of articles and buying guides authored by a team of industry experts.

Registered members are able to follow the equipboards of pro artists to receive gear updates; create their own personal equipboards to index the gear that they have and keep track of the gear that they want; contribute to Equipboard by adding new artists and gear to the database, linking existing gear to a particular artist, and correcting inaccuracies; review gear for fellow musicians; and participate in forum discussions.
