Vesta

Startup

Close your round without the cap table chaos

Represent your round as a token only approved investors can hold. Lock-ups, the register and your data room live in one place, so each new angel is an approval, not another spreadsheet.

The challenge

Fundraising eats the time you need to build

The old way

  • Messy cap tables

    Angels, SAFEs and option pools tracked in fragile spreadsheets.

  • Data room chaos

    Decks and financials scattered across email threads and shared drives.

  • Small cheques, big admin

    Every angel adds paperwork out of proportion to the cheque.

With VestaScan

  • A tokenized cap table

    Each investor's position sits in their wallet and updates with every transfer.

  • A data room with levels

    Share the deck publicly and the financials only with approved investors.

  • Lock-ups built in

    Set a lock-up date per investor, so early equity can't change hands early.

Use cases

Match the token to your round

Your legal documents define the instrument; the token records who holds it.

  • Equity rounds

    Pre-seed and seed shares represented as tokens.

  • SAFEs and convertibles

    Track future equity before it converts.

  • Community rounds

    Let customers and users back the product they love.

  • Revenue-based notes

    Repay backers from revenue, on terms set out in your offer.

The first question

For founders, most start with “Approved investors only”

It's the first thing the app asks: who can hold your token? Both kinds are always on offer, so pick “Open to anyone” instead if it fits your plan better.

Try it in the app

Approved investors only

Raise from approved investors

For a company, fund or property raising capital. Only investors you approve can hold or receive the token, and the rules travel with it.

Always included

  • An approved-investor list that every transfer is checked against
  • Lock-up dates per investor
  • Pause all transfers if something goes wrong

Your choice at launch

  • Issue more tokens later, up to a maximum you set
  • Recover tokens from a holder, for lost access or a legal order
  • Burn tokens you hold

How it works

From sign-in to a live token in four steps

No code and no developer. The app explains every setting in plain words as you go, and nothing goes live until you've reviewed it.

  1. 1

    Sign in

    With Google or email, and a Vesta wallet is created for you; or with a wallet you already use. Signing in creates your account, with nothing to install.

  2. 2

    Choose who can hold it

    Approved investors only, or open to anyone. Not sure? Ask the assistant.

  3. 3

    Name it and set the supply

    Name, short symbol, how many to create, and whether you can issue more later.

  4. 4

    Review and launch

    Pick the network, check every setting in plain words, and confirm.

Where founders come from

Six sectors full of new founders

Founders no longer build for everyone. They build for one profession, one audience or one problem, and every one of them needs a clean way to raise.

  1. 01

    Vertical SaaS

    Software built for one profession instead of everyone. Hundreds of trades still run on paperwork and generic tools.

    For example: CRM for hair salons, invoicing for roofers, Pilates studio management

  2. 02

    E-commerce and D2C

    Brands selling straight to consumers on Instagram and TikTok, each needing cash for stock before the first sale.

    For example: Functional drinks, indie cosmetics, eco clothing, supplements

  3. 03

    Proptech and co-living

    Property is split across millions of small owners and operators, and most still manage it by hand.

    For example: Rental management, energy audits, co-living platforms, online HOA tools

  4. 04

    Femtech and mental health

    Health products now target one need at a time, for audiences that know exactly what they're missing.

    For example: Fertility tracking, menopause support, sleep, specialised therapy

  5. 05

    Creator economy

    Millions of solo creators need the tools behind the content: editing, communities, bookkeeping.

    For example: Automated video editing, private communities, creator accounting

  6. 06

    Climate tech and circular economy

    New environmental rules and customer demand keep opening room for these companies.

    For example: Re-commerce, construction waste, cargo-bike logistics, compostable packaging

For issuers

You stay in control after launch

Manage investors and supply from one screen, in plain words. Every power you keep is shown on your token's public page, so investors know exactly where they stand.

  1. 01

    Approve investors

    Add investors to the approved list, set a lock-up date as you add them, and remove them later.

  2. 02

    Set lock-ups

    Set, change or clear the date before which an investor can't transfer.

  3. 03

    Send to a new investor in one step

    Approve a new investor and send them tokens in a single confirmation.

  4. 04

    Issue new tokens

    Issue more tokens to an investor, up to the maximum supply set at launch.

  5. 05

    Recover from a holder

    Bring tokens back from a holder, for lost access or a legal order, when the token allows it.

  6. 06

    Pause transfers

    Stop every transfer at once, and resume when you're ready.
