Your cap table, easy

Pulley announced in September 2026 they would cease operating this year, and they offered a transition to Carta with the price honored. We spent years hearing how much people hated Carta, so we built a cap table with the lawyer logic baked in.

Story already had a better cap table product that requires less founder work and cash, so we're offering a limited-time deal for startups affected by the Pulley disappearance who don't want Carta: your first year of Aegis Cap Table for $2,000, with lawyer review and an engagement letter included. You dump documents; we review them and figure them out. Your cap table is more correct than it was on Pulley for a fraction of the price of Carta.

Migrating to Carta means migrating your mistakes.

Pulley and Carta work on data entry. Your data entry MIGHT be right if you paid lawyers to help, or your company is super-simple. Founders usually do it wrong. Story LLP lawyer logic gets it right for you, with cleaner, easier interfaces and just as much investor access and modeling.

All your data is privileged and confidential. We will never sell it, much less sell it without your permission like Carta.

THE PART NOBODY TELLS YOU

Your securities were never on Pulley.

We hear a lot from founders who ask, “If I quit Carta, don’t I lose my securities?” We gotta give Carta credit: they misled a lot of smart people into thinking their stuff is stuck in Carta. Let’s get the truth out there: securities in your company exist because you followed an acceptable legal process to create and issue them. We run that process, and lawyers usually do. Carta and Pulley are where you enter data about your legal reality—not the place where it lives. The data you entered might be wrong if the process is wrong.

Pulley has offered migrating to Carta, which they say involves phone calls and checking data. With Story’s Aegis Cap Table, you enter no data—you upload documents. We find the legal reality, and that’s what you see on your Story Cap Table.

You’re not moving your securities anywhere. You’re choosing what to rebuild the picture from: an export, which is a picture of a picture, or the documents themselves.

We build from the documents. The record is built on the Open Cap Format, and it downloads as a lawyer-ready Excel file any day you want it.

Here’s how you get your securities “off” Pulley before the December 8, 2026 shutdown:

  1. Export from Pulley

    Company Settings → Export → Full Company Export—see Pulley’s export guide (opens in a new tab).

  2. Sign up for Story

  3. Upload your export

    Or just email it to gc@story.law.

  4. We rebuild your cap table

    From the documents themselves.

HOW IT WORKS

Story Cap tables have the BigLaw lawyer logic baked in.

Stop thinking about whether you entered data right. Let your General Counsel get the cap table law right for you.

  1. 1

    FORWARD

    A zip, a Drive folder, an inbox full of signed PDFs. Upload it, email it to gc@story.law, Slack it, throw it in a Linear ticket. We take it from there. You enter no other data.

  2. 2

    GRAPH

    Aegis extracts content and key data points with proprietary lawyer logic into a graph of your legal reality.

  3. 3

    ASSESS

    We consider only legally-effective documents: valid files, signed by the right parties and approved in the right way.

  4. 4

    VISUALIZE

    See your cap table and data room in investor-friendly and lawyer-friendly format.

  5. 5

    SHARE

    Invite your lawyers and investors to save them time and save both you and your investors on legal bills. Use our MCP and more to integrate with investors' fund and management software.

A Cap Table UI that doesn't feel like you're operating a space shuttle...where you can't find anything.

Most cap table software, including Carta, is built with data entry - by the founder or the lawyer founders pay. Our cap table software is a datavizualization of your legal reality.

Common stock rows for Avery Chen and Jordan Ellis, each with a document icon that opens the signed agreement
Every row has its paperClick any holding to open the signed document it came from.

Example company. Real product.

BEFORE YOU BUY

What this won’t do.

We're lawyers, not magicians or psychics. Your Story.law cap table is based only on the actual, effective documents you upload and the specific references they make.

  1. We can only see what you send us.

    Your cap table is built from your documents. If a grant was never papered, it isn't in there, because legally it may not exist. Some tools will let you type it in anyway, which records a belief, not ownership. We'll tell you what's missing instead. Closing those gaps is legal work, and legal work costs money.

  2. We won't count a document that doesn't hold up.

    If a past lawyer or a template site got something wrong, like a grant with no board consent or a transfer nobody signed, we won't quietly treat it as valid to make your table look clean. We'll flag it and tell you what fixing it takes.

  3. We don't promise every edge case.

    Sometimes, as a startup, you had something odd happen in your legal history. We support most of that, but you should understand that some cap table realities are legal ARGUMENTS, and on our platform a manual update to your cap table must come from a lawyer unless our lawyers already said it's reasonable to treat that logic as universal.

Moving off Pulley is an export and an upload.

From Pulley

  1. Pulley is shutting down—all operations end December 8, 2026. Export before then.
  2. Export: Company Settings → Export → Full Company Export
  3. Pulley’s export guide (opens in a new tab)
  4. Upload the zip, or email it to gc@story.law
  5. We rebuild your cap table from the documents themselves

From a shoebox

  1. Gather whatever you have: signed PDFs, email attachments, a shared drive
  2. Forward all of it. That’s the normal case.
  3. We work out what counts and tell you what’s missing

Questions founders are asking this week

Do I lose my shares when Pulley shuts down?

No. You do not lose any shares when Pulley shuts down. Shares, options, SAFEs and notes exist because signed documents created them, not because a cap table platform recorded them. Export your documents from Pulley before December 8, 2026 so you keep your copies.

What if my Pulley export is incomplete?

Send what you have, plus any signed documents sitting in email or a shared drive. We build from the documents, and we tell you what's missing instead of guessing.

What if no lawyer has ever looked at my equity documents?

That's common. Every Aegis Cap Table subscription includes lawyer review of your uploaded documents and an engagement letter with Story LLP, so an attorney flags anything that needs fixing—like a grant with no board consent—under attorney-client privilege.

What happens to my cap table if you shut down?

Download it as a lawyer-ready Excel file any day. And the same rule applies to us: your securities live in your signed documents, not in any cap table platform.

Can I upgrade to Aegis later and keep everything?

Yes. Upgrade whenever you like, and your cap table comes with you.

Do you do 409A valuations?

We offer 409A valuations a la carte when you actually need them—not bundled into a subscription you’re paying for before it’s useful.

Is this privileged?

Yes. Every subscription includes an engagement letter with Story LLP, and attorney-client privilege covers lawyer review of your cap table documents. Client data is confidential, operated on private law firm servers for privilege protection, and shared only with lawyers who clear conflicts and are providing legal representation.

You have until December 8.

We're lawyers, remember? Please read this important note:

Story LLP is a law firm, and Story's lawyers built Aegis to deliver better, standard legal services at scale so founders can choose between top-tier specialized lawyers and standardized process automations that replicate those lawyers according to their needs and budget. By definition, a standardized process may not be perfect for you. Please review our Policies page to better understand the difference, as well as how we use AI and how we manage conflicts, privilege, etc.

As a law firm, we must screen clients for conflicts of interest, and we treat all correspondence with clients seeking legal advice as privileged and confidential to the maximum extent possible in consideration of any conflicts. However, Story's law firm or our Attorney Allies do not represent you or your company as your lawyer, do not have an attorney-client relationship with you or your company, and do not provide you with legal advice absent a formal Engagement Letter signed between you and the Story LLP law firm. Please don't confuse the free knowledge we offer on this site with legal advice for you.
