What do you like best about Pulley?

Lots of features for managing the captable including automatic generation of option agreements, board consents and other legal docs as well as spectacular 409A reports. Excellent reporting features and nice-to-have features such as dataroom, automated investor updates, hiring, etc. Product is easy to use and has detailed documentation. We have yet to find any substantial bugs in the software. Customer support is incredibly fast and resolves issues quickly. Transitioning to Pulley is easy in that they can help do the bulk of the data porting for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No major downsides. ASC-718 feature is great but still requires some work on the company side for accounting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pulley?

The onboarding process was incredibly smooth, and the support team made the transition effortless. Pulley offers all the features we need for equity management in a clean, intuitive interface—at a much more founder-friendly price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pulley?

Nothing major so far—we haven’t had extensive use of Pulley yet, but everything has worked smoothly to date Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pulley solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pulley helps us keep everything related to equity in one place, which has been a huge benefit. We used to rely on spreadsheets and emails, and it was easy for things to get messy or outdated. Now, we have a single source of truth for our cap table, SAFEs, and employee grants—with accurate, up-to-date data we can actually trust. It gives us peace of mind, especially when onboarding new team members. Everything just feels more organized and under control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pulley?

The team is very hands on when onboarding new companies and they're there to help make everything go smoothly. Cap table management is a necessity if you plan to establish and maintain an equity incentive plan and the price is far better than alternatives out there. 10/10 would recommend. The 409As are quick and painless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pulley?

There are certain security and profit sharing features that don't work exactly right, including vesting for double trigger, and profit sharing is not useable. The payroll integrations have not manifested as promised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pulley solving and how is that benefiting you?

Running a vast system of equity incentives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pulley?

I'm new to the world of running your own business and taking on investors. Pulley has been a God-send product for me and my small founding team. It takes out all of the guess work and helped me interact with existing and potential investors seamlessly. Many times I've chatted with Igor, my customer support rep, who is always able to answer my question and 99% of the time on the first try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pulley?

The site can be a bit overwhelming at first to understand what is what as a new founder. There are lot of terms and parameters that I had to google what it meant - my only feedback would be to include more help text or tool tip bubbles to help me figure things out - maybe an example too.

Pulley is my one-stop-shop for issuing new SAFE notes and managing my Cap table Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pulley?

The onboarding process was very fast and positive. Completed in a couple of days!

We also got a 409A valuation done right away. The report was thorough, reflecting the state of our business accurately and fairly, and sets a great basis for our equity-based compensation plan.

The web-based userinterface is intuitive and so far seems to offer everything we need, and a few that I didn't relaize I needed. - Like a solid boiler-plate option agreement for use (as as a starting point) when using options to compensate international contractors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pulley?

There has been nothing to dislike at this point Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pulley solving and how is that benefiting you?
