Our take
Ledgy was founded as an equity management platform for high-growth companies, allowing them to focus first and foremost on growth by handling cap tables, employee participation plans, and investor relations. It also offers investors a personalised dashboard which allows modelling flexible funding scenarios, valuations and exits.
The company realised that manual Excel-based processes or inflexible legacy systems aren't optimally efficient for high-growth companies. They often make equity plan management a full-time job, taking time away from company growth. Ledgy's key features include document handling automation, legally compliant document signing, customised PDF investor reports and scenario modelling. In doing this, it takes a privacy and security-first approach.
Ledgy now has hundreds of high-growth clients, including NA-KD, Dott, yamo, and Codility, offering products for finance, human resources, and investors. In addition, Ledgy has a comprehensive sustainability policy: its office is driven by a green energy provider, its servers run on Google's renewable energy infrastructure, and it's working to become carbon neutral through partnerships with the likes of SeaO2, an ocean carbon removal company.
