Fintra for founders managing equity

Your cap table is one of the most consequential things you own, and most founders manage it in a spreadsheet they do not fully trust. Fintra makes it a live model you can raise, hire, and exit against with confidence.

What founders need from their equity

Equity is how founders fund the company, hire the team, and eventually realize value, and every one of those decisions turns on cap-table math the founder is ultimately responsible for. You need to know your true ownership before a raise, price offers that include equity, keep the accounting clean, and understand what an exit actually pays out, without depending on a spreadsheet that breaks the moment a SAFE converts.

  • Model dilution before signing a term sheet
  • Close rounds and convert SAFEs without cap-table drift
  • Price equity into competitive, fair offers
  • Keep 409A and ASC 718 accurate for accounting
  • Understand exit payouts across preferences and participation

From spreadsheet to live model

A founder’s equity work in Fintra runs from modeling a raise, to closing it cleanly, to granting equity on real vesting schedules, to keeping the accounting current, to stress-testing an exit. Each step builds on the last because they share one record, so the cap table you raise against is the same one your accountant and your acquirer will see.

  1. 1.Model dilution scenarios before a raise.
  2. 2.Close the round and convert SAFEs in a guided sequence.
  3. 3.Grant equity with vesting schedules and current 409A.
  4. 4.Recognize ASC 718 expense automatically.
  5. 5.Model the exit waterfall to see real payouts.

Accuracy investors trust

A cap table is only useful if people trust it, and errors compound quietly (a wrong conversion here, a missed pool top-up there) until diligence surfaces them at the worst time. Fintra keeps an audit trail behind every issuance, conversion, and grant, and ties the equity records to the accounting, so the numbers you show investors and auditors reconcile.

  • Audit trail behind every issuance and conversion
  • Equity records tied to 409A and ASC 718
  • Reconciled fully diluted totals at every round
  • One source of truth for diligence

Questions people ask

Can Fintra replace my cap-table spreadsheet?

Yes. Fintra maintains a live cap table with dilution modeling, SAFE conversion, vesting, 409A, ASC 718, exercises, and exit waterfalls on one record, so you are not maintaining a fragile spreadsheet that breaks when terms change.

How does Fintra help me before a fundraise?

You fork the live cap table into scenarios (different pre-money values, pool sizes, and raise amounts) and see post-money ownership and per-stakeholder dilution side by side, so you know your true ownership before signing a term sheet.

Does Fintra handle the equity accounting too?

It does. 409A valuation, ASC 718 stock-comp expense, and the journal entries read from the same cap table as your grants and vesting, so your equity records and your books stay reconciled.

Can I see what an exit would actually pay out?

Yes. Fintra’s waterfall modeling applies your liquidation preferences, participation, and conversion terms across a range of exit values, showing each stakeholder’s real dollar payout rather than just their ownership percentage.
