I just received notice that Pulley [1] is shutting down and will be transitioning all their customers to Carta. According to the homepage:

> THIS NOTICE SERVES TO INFORM YOU THAT PULLEY WILL BE SHUTTING DOWN AND WILL CEASE ALL OPERATIONS AND SERVICES ON 12/8/26.

Besides Carta, are there any other equity management solutions that the USA-based HN community uses?

It's super easy to get started and migrate. You can self-serve onboard and migrate but if you like the sales and CS teams can help too!

People have a lot of complaints about Carta. Eqvista is a highly-rated alternative, and for Pulley customers, Eqvista is offering:

- Free white-glove migration

- First year of cap table management free

- $500 toward your first year's 409A valuation plan

- Migration in as little as 3–5 business days

- Dedicated migration specialist

- Review your migrated cap table before you commit

We used EQ Vista and had nothing but issues from day 1. It was a mess. Would not recommend or proceed with caution

Consider not using a platform...it's quite a first-time founder thing to spend time on maintaining the cap table to realise:

- your valuation doesn't change all that often

- you don't really want investors and employees spending their time asking you about their shares (and liquidity)

- 409A: ask Claude about when you're granting options and how to minimise time spent on your tax related obligations
