Capdesk now supports investments via investment vehicles, such as certain forms of fund, trust or nominee setups.

Once you’ve found your investors, you think all the hard work is done and the money will be in the bank within hours. It ought to be like that, but reality is, however, that the fundraising process is often surprisingly lengthy and costly. The primary reason for this is that there is no standardised process for completing a funding round. Most funding rounds are done manually - with each lawyer or fundraising platform doing it differently. On Capdesk you won’t get any help finding the right investors for your round. But we strive to streamline all the boring paperwork, which really shouldn’t be costly.

There are numerous schemes and plans out there to attract and incentivise employees, and more are certain to see the light of day. Some have tax advantages, such as EMI and CSOP. Others, such as unapproved options, do not, but are also less limited by legislative requirements.

We're proud to announce that our API is now live! This means applications and companies can use Capdesk data on their own systems. First application to use the Capdesk API is Fundstack. Fundstack is a deal workflow tool for PE and VC. Through the API, Fundstack customers will be able to see their portfolio registered on Capdesk while working in the Fundstack app.

When setting up employee incentive schemes, such as a series of share option grants to key employees, vesting conditions are an important component. Vesting schedules basically express how the employee can earn more or more equity as employment continues and, in some cases, performance milestones are met.

As any company issuing employee incentive schemes will recognise, the profit/loss accounting of (and external reporting of) the liabilities such schemes represent in the corporate finances can be complex.

Companies are becoming increasingly dependent on the quality and motivation of their employees. Employee share plans are an excellent tool to ensure motivation.

When I designed the very foundation of Capdesk, I decided to make it ready for blockchain technology.
