In their own words
Capboard
Capboard manages company equity and gives stakeholders visibility into their holdings. Its cap table tracks equity history and supports projections for funding rounds and company sales. Users can model funding and exit scenarios, including dilution, voting rights, and shareholder payouts. Employee equity tools cover options, phantom shares, warrants, SARs, vesting schedules, and automated grant letters. Capboard also supports investor updates, metric reporting, board management, and shareholder meetings. Its virtual data room provides secure document storage and sharing, contract templates, and Capboard e-signature. The service is available on the web and self-hosted. Listed safeguards include Google and Microsoft SSO, two-factor authentication, administrator controls, and GDPR-compliant hosting on AWS servers in the EU. Role-based access can be assigned to founders, investors or advisers, employees, and collaborators, with user access and changes monitored. Capboard is intended for founders, investors, employees, and lawyers working with company equity. A free plan and 14-day trial are listed, with paid plans from €270/yr. Stakeholder counts exclude external collaborators such as lawyers.
Hemrock
Hemrock Portfolio is an open-source platform for venture funds that turns company updates into structured metrics, dashboards, monitoring and LP reporting. Users can forward PDF, Excel, PowerPoint or plain-text updates; AI extracts metrics and flags uncertain results for review. The platform charts MRR, burn, headcount and custom KPIs over time, and can draft quarterly LP letters and investor report cards. It supports user-provided AI keys for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini and OpenRouter, as well as local models through Ollama. Designed to run on a customer’s own infrastructure, database and AI keys, it is described by Hemrock as keeping portfolio data separate from other funds and out of model training. The Apache License 2.0 permits personal or commercial use. Optional Fund Operations adds a double-entry ledger for funds, SPVs, direct deals or GP entities, plus period closing and a compliance calendar. Self-hosted use is free; Hosted starts at $250 a month, and Setup and support starts at $2,500, paid once.
