We built an investor CRM for you to run a tight fundraising process for your startup, including a Chrome extension for investor research. When you issue SAFEs + convertible notes on Capbase, your document room and cap table are automatically updated as you raise money.

The whole deal process runs smoothly for both the investor and the founders on Capbase - our products deals with the signature blocks, signing contracts and processes the wire transfers. When you’re done, your cap table and doc room are up to date, in real-time.

Yes, Capbase enables you to generate the necessary legal contracts to hire employees and contractors as well as issue restricted shares and stock options as equity compensation. Additionally, thanks to our integration with Gusto and Deel partnership, you can also onboard your employees easily and set up payroll to pay your employees.

Yes. The creation of your advisory board and the distribution of shares to advisors are both fully supported by Capbase. In addition, we will generate advisory agreements for you, which means that you won't have to worry about the legal aspects of the contract.

Yes, you can set up separate vesting schedules for each founder. Specifically, you can set a different cliff, a total vesting time, and add a double trigger acceleration for each founder’s equity grant. You can also choose to award a percentage of the founder equity up front, in which case these shares will not be subject to vesting. This is often done to reward founders who have put work into the company prior to the incorporation date.

This feature is also available when hiring employees, contractors, and advisors.

Get in touch with us to begin the "Delaware Flip" process of converting your home jurisdiction's corporation to a Delaware C Corporation. You are going to need to consult a lawyer and/or an accountant in your home jurisdiction before beginning the process.

If you are unsure how to begin this process, we are able to help connect you with resources that can assist you.

Yes, our platform will automatically generate 83(b) elections for any share purchases made by the company's founders, as well as for the early exercise of stock options by employees and advisors, or for the receipt of restricted share grants. Additionally, when founders buy their own founder shares, we file 83(b) elections on their behalf.

83(b) elections are only required for US taxpayers who are early exercising their stock. However, foreign founders may want to file an 83b if they believe it is likely that they will move to the US or become a tax resident there in the future.

No and here is why:

• Because corporations need additional paperwork and a more formal structure, some founders might think LLCs are simpler than corporations. Fortunately, Capbase takes care of all the paperwork and compliance requirements involved in forming a Delaware corporation for you.

Unfortunately, we do not facilitate incorporation in any other state; however, there is a good reason for this:

• Delaware is a wise choice of jurisdiction if you're looking to raise outside capital for your business. Due to tax considerations, most investors prefer to invest in Delaware C Corps.

• It is simpler (and less expensive) to obtain legal counsel because the majority of startup lawyers are familiar with Delaware law. Furthermore, potential business partners and acquirers for your startup are well-versed in it.

• When properly calculated, the Delaware Franchise Tax is one of the lowest tax rates in the US. Even if a company authorizes a significant number of shares, such as 10 million shares or more, the annual franchise tax typically only amounts to a few hundred dollars.

• Delaware provides significant legal and financial benefits to businesses, including a separate corporate court system that efficiently resolves legal disputes.

• If you register somewhere else, you might later need to re-register, which can be expensive.

• Delaware is home to 70% of Fortune 500 companies. Startups and big businesses alike favor Delaware as their preferred jurisdiction.

A Delaware C Corporation is the preferred entity for (most) startup investors, and provides a strong foundation for your company. This state provides businesses with:

• Founder-friendly legislation that makes it simple for founders to register their businesses there.

• An effective corporate court system for resolving shareholder and investor conflicts.

• When calculated correctly, Delaware has one of the lowest tax rates in the United States.
