Pulley (W20)

Pulley helps companies manage their cap tables. Use our platform to issue employee & investor equity and maintain accurate ownership records as your company scales.

Our Mission

Pulley's mission is to make it easier for anyone to start a company. We strongly believe that more startups should be created, and that founder-led companies are more successful in the long term. With Pulley’s cap table management tools, companies can better understand and optimize their equity. Starting a company is hard enough. Managing a cap table shouldn’t be.

We started Pulley because most of us have worked at early stage startups and have found equity to be confusing. We want to help builders and creators grow and own more of their company in the long term. If you would like to join our mission of helping more founders start companies, let’s talk!

We're growing quickly

We started just six months ago and have over half the w20 YC batch using Pulley to manage their cap table. We raised a strong funding round with investors including General Catalyst, Caffeinated Capital, 8vc, Elad Gil, among other great angels.

We a team of five engineers with experience from Google, Microsoft, Docker, Pebble, and more based in Mountain View. There are two former YC founders on the team and an engineer who’s climbed Everest. Yin (founder) sold her last company to MSFT. We are solving a real need with a huge market and are looking for great folks to join our team.
