At Capdesk, we work with hundreds of companies who operate across multiple countries, and so we want your experience to be as flexible as possible. As of today, you'll be able to create share classes under various different currencies, execute transactions in a currency different than the one you issued the particular shares in, as well as export reports in any currency you want. It's all up to you!

As a high-growth company, you're likely already using an HR software to help you manage your constantly expanding team. With several of our clients having several hundreds, or even thousands of employees, we realise how much more efficient it is for some of you to have the data on your HR tool feed directly into Capdesk. So we're making it possible.

At Capdesk, we put efficiency above all else. That's why we've created a new feature for you to access all your relevant equity documents in one place - for those moments in life where you're a little extra pressed for time! 

Remember that time we made history by making end-to-end option grant signing digital? Well, that put a smile on a few of your faces which made us very happy. So we decided to put in some hard work and extend our digital signing functionalities, so that we can now empower you execute your phantom shares and share grants online too. We want you to have full control, and full flexibility over your equity. Here's the gist of it: 

A few months ago we changed the game of digital equity management, by enabling private UK companies to execute option grants 100% online. But think we forgot about companies like yours based elsewhere in Europe, or operating in multiple jurisdictions? Guess again! We've now made grant execution even more flexible on Capdesk, so you can issue them compliantly, no matter where in the continent you're issuing them. 

With almost £2Bn pounds invested in UK startups through EIS last year, it’s clear that EIS can be a goldmine of a scheme for early-stage startups. Unfortunately, it comes along with quite a bit of paperwork. But, as you know, we’re all about the paperless life here at Capdesk, so we’re bringing you one step closer to it by letting you store EIS documents on Capdesk for your investors to stay informed about your application status, and making EIS3 signing and distribution digital to save you tons of admin time. Let’s put a smile on your investors’ faces!

We take your data privacy seriously. That's why we've now built an optional two-factor authentication feature on Capdesk, for those of you who want to be extra sure that no one else can access your account. Two-factor authentication can be enabled on an individual level by you, the user, or set as a requirement by the company for all the users it invites on the platform. It's a simple as 1-2-3. Just make sure you've got your phone nearby! 

You know we always try to make equity life as easy as possible for you - that's why we're giving you the option to export an overview of all the information relating to each type of security you might be using. So whether you want to share an overview of your options, warrants, phantom shares, or growth shares with an external party you don't wish to invite on Capdesk, all you need to do is use a coupe of clicks to export your data in spreadsheet form! 

We have big news! Capdesk is partnering with payment experts Shieldpay, to make digital option exercises possible! Upon termination of employment, your employees can choose if and how many of their vested options they would like to exercise through Capdesk. Shieldpay will ensure the transaction is safe for both you and your employee, by retaining the transfer money in an escrow account until the transaction process is completed and fully verified on Capdesk.

If you're one of the many companies who grant options to employees over issued shares, we have good news for you. You can now do so on Capdesk, with just a few clicks. It just got easier than ever to issue and monitor your grants!
