The short version

What happened to Captable.io?

Captable.io no longer exists. It became part of LTSE Equity, the cap table platform of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, and LTSE has finished shutting that platform down. Captable.io now redirects to the LTSE shutdown notice.

Captable.io was a cloud tool for building and sharing a startup's cap table. You could record share classes, convertible notes and SAFEs, then model a new round or an exit to see how ownership changed. A 2017 article on Startups.com described it as free. It was later combined with Fast409a to form LTSE Equity. LTSE says it is leaving the cap table business, and it chose Astrella to serve its customers. It kept customer data until the end of November 2024.

Bottom line: If you came looking for Captable.io, it is gone. Pick a current cap table tool. Former LTSE customers were pointed to Astrella, which has a free trial but no free tier, so compare options if you are a small, early team.
