FinovateSpring 2024 – Eqvista

FinovateSpring 2024 – Eqvista

How they describe themselves: With $70B in assets under administration (AuA) and a user base of 17,000 companies, Eqvista has a solid foundation. With monthly valuations of $2B in client assets, they’re in a prime position to keep accumulating AuA and capitalize on opportunities to upsell equity and financial services.

Eqvista’s current pace is to accumulate $500B in AuA by 2026 and develop multiple financial products:

  • Equity management: cap table/409a/investment valuation/compliance
  • Secondaries: lending and marketplace
  • Equity financing: revenue-based financing or debt

How they describe their product/innovation: Stock issuance in less than 10 minutes.

It’s tough for startups to manage stocks and set up a cap table hassle-free. There’s no straightforward stock management system available without aggressive sales tactics or complex customer onboarding processes – just a simple “leave your contact and we’ll get back to you” page.

Eqvista is the solution. With Eqvista, users can build a cap table in a matter of minutes, issue stocks to founders, set up ESOPs, create SAFEs, or simply record all funding rounds from pre-seed to pre-IPO.
