One ledger, every action.

Onboarding
A 5-step audit-grade wizard captures CIPC or CAC details, share structure, founders, documents and a final review.
Cap table
Shareholders, share classes, certificates and dilution previews — recalculated on every action.
Funding rounds
A 14-stage investment pipeline from invitation to issuance, with SAFE conversions when the priced round closes.
Compliance
CIPC, CAC, POPIA, FICA. Filings, KYC and document expiry all tracked from a single compliance health score.

Your portfolio, signed and current.

Proposals
SAFE invitations land in your inbox with cap, discount and tier laid out as a contract — not a marketing email.
Active signed
Investments that have cleared payment and signature appear here, with status tracked through to share issuance.
Conversions
When a priced round closes, your SAFE converts at the better of cap or discount — the math is visible and exportable.
Certificate set
Every issuance produces a print-ready certificate, an audit log and a board-ready summary.

An invitation becomes a signed, paid, audited holding in nine moves.

01
Invite
Founder issues a tier-priced SAFE from the round dashboard.
02
Open
Investor lands on the proposal — terms, cap and discount in plain view.
03
Accept
Tier selected, risk disclosure acknowledged in one motion.
04
Verify
KYC of investor, CIPC or CAC of company — verified before signing.
05
Pay
Paystack handles ZAR + NGN. Reference is bound to the SAFE.
06
Sign
Investor digitally signs the subscription with biometric or pen.
07
Countersign
Board officer countersigns from a secure mobile-first link.
08
Issue
Cap table is updated, certificate is generated, audit log is sealed.
09
Ledger
Holdings, dilution and ESOP reflect immediately — no spreadsheets.

“We closed our Series A diligence in eleven days. The data room was already the ledger.”

New to fundraising? Start here.

The first plain-English guide to fundraising in Nigeria & South Africa.

SAFEs, cap tables, valuation caps, ESOPs, vesting — most founder guides assume Delaware corp law and US bank accounts. We wrote one that doesn't. Follow Chioma in Lagos and Tunde in Abuja end-to-end, with every piece of jargon defined the first time it appears.
