Why we invested

Why Cake,
and why then.

Cap tables are the operating system of a startup – and most founders touch theirs twice a year in terror. The best equity software makes it trivial to run option grants, vesting, and SAFEs without a lawyer on every line item.

Kim and Jason had built Cake as a working tool before raising a dollar. When we met them, it already served hundreds of Australian startups. Product trust that deep is the hardest thing to build from scratch.
