Mastering Equafy

Set up a static, hybrid or dynamic cap table — step by step.

Dynamic equity is optional

Three ways to run your cap table

Use Equafy as a fully static cap table, a hybrid, or 100% dynamic. You choose the model — and you can switch whenever you want.

Static

Conventional cap table

A classic cap table with fixed percentages or fixed shares — exactly like the tools you already know. No contributions, no recalculations.

Fixed
  • Fixed % or share counts
  • No dynamic tracking required
  • Ideal when the split is already agreed

Hybrid

The best of both worlds

Lock protected percentages for founders or investors, and let the rest of the pie distribute dynamically from real contributions.

FixedDynamicReserved
  • Fixed + dynamic + reserved
  • Protect key stakeholders
  • Reward ongoing contribution

Dynamic

100% performance-based

The whole pie splits automatically based on what each person actually contributes — time, cash, IP and resources. Recalculates in real time.

Dynamic
  • Everything distributed by contribution
  • Real-time recalculation
  • Perfect for early-stage teams

Same platform. Same 100% ownership. You decide how it’s split.

The starting point

Create your project

Create a project, give it a name, and you’re in. Invite your co-founders and team now or later — everyone sees the same live cap table.

2
Static, hybrid or dynamic

Choose your model

Decide how ownership is split. Run a conventional static cap table with fixed percentages, a fully dynamic one based on contributions, or a hybrid that combines both. You can change your mind at any time — dynamic equity is always optional.

Shareholders, shares and percentages

Build your cap table

Add shareholders and set authorized shares. For a static setup, simply assign fixed percentages or share counts — that’s your whole cap table, no contributions required.

4
Define risk weights for contributionsDynamic · optional

Set the rules (multipliers)

If you use dynamic equity, define the risk weight for Cash, Work, and Assets in the Multipliers panel. This decides how much each type of contribution is worth.

Multipliers

Cash x4
Work x2
Assets x1
5
Hard caps and untouchable slices

Protect with fixed & limited equity

Lock in percentages that should never dilute using Fixed Equity, and set Hard Caps with Limited Equity to keep long-term control. Reserve a pool for future hires or investors.

Record time, money, and IPDynamic · optional

Log contributions

The heart of the dynamic model. Record time, money, or IP and the chart updates in real time so everyone sees their true ownership. Skip this entirely if you’re running a static cap table.

Scale the cap table over time

Vesting, grants & share issuance

Add vesting schedules, grant equity, issue new shares, model SAFEs and convertibles, and run round simulations before committing anything.

Frequently asked

Do I have to use dynamic equity?

No. Dynamic equity is completely optional. You can run Equafy as a conventional static cap table with fixed percentages, exactly like the tools you already know.

Can I mix fixed and dynamic equity?

Yes — that’s the hybrid model. Lock protected percentages for founders or investors and let the rest of the pie distribute dynamically from contributions.

Can I switch models later?

Absolutely. You can adjust fixed equity, multipliers, caps and the reserved pool at any time. Total ownership always equals 100%.
