Customer complaints 3
Owners and users describing the problem in their own words: Reddit, low-star reviews, App Store, Ask HN.
Pulley is shutting down in Dec 2026, so cap table records (ownership, employee ownership, vesting docs) must be moved to another provider before then, and the poster almost missed the deadline.
r/startups 42 upvotes
Founders feel locked into Carta, but the Pulley shutdown and pricing frustration push them to look at alternatives, with fear of breaking historical grant mapping or 409A continuity during migration.
r/startups 8 upvotes
After a company moved its cap table from Carta to Pulley, a former employee's exercised options (8,750 ISOs) were shown as 2,500 on the new certificate, which they call a clerical error and fear is a loss of equity.
