Build + Run · Cap table
Know who owns what. Know the paperwork agrees.
Solvd connects the ownership view to the executed documents and approvals behind it, so a founder can see what changed, what does not match and what needs attention before the next financing or diligence process.
Built for early-stage Delaware C-Corps. Verification depends on the records available to compare.
Direct answer
A cap table is a summary. The legal record is the evidence behind it.
The cap table should reflect the shares, options and financing instruments the company actually issued or agreed to, together with the approvals and documents that support those events. Solvd’s cap-table layer is built around that connection.
What Solvd handles
Ownership changes come from legal events.
Founder stock
Connect issued founder shares to purchase documents, vesting terms and approvals.
Option pool + grants
Track reserve, grants and changes affecting fully diluted ownership.
SAFEs + notes
Associate signed instruments with the ownership model they may later affect.
Priced rounds
Carry completed financing issuances into the ownership record.
Exercises + cancellations
Reflect supported post-grant events when the underlying record is available.
Verification
Compare cap-table state to the executed legal record and surface exceptions.
Reconciliation proof
The number should have a document behind it.

Every equity event should leave the ownership record easier to trust.
Founder questions
A clean dashboard is not the same as a clean record.
Is a cap table enough to prove ownership?
A cap table is an ownership summary. The legal basis for an entry generally comes from the company’s underlying issuance, transfer, financing and approval records.
Do we still need an equity-admin platform?
Possibly. Dedicated equity-administration platforms can be useful for stakeholder administration and scale. Solvd’s differentiated job is to connect the ownership view to the legal work and records behind it.
When should we reconcile the cap table?
After material equity or financing events and before a transaction that depends on the ownership record, such as a priced financing, secondary transaction or acquisition diligence.
What if the cap table and documents do not match?
Do not simply edit the spreadsheet until the numbers tie. Identify the source of the difference, determine what actually occurred, and remediate the legal or data record as appropriate.
