Mantle Startup Deals & Discounts

Mantle runs an application-based program that gives qualifying startups a credit toward its paid equity-management plans, lowering the cost of moving off spreadsheets and onto a real cap table system. The benefit is aimed at early-stage and growth-stage founders who are formalizing their equity records, preparing for a priced round, or layering on 409A valuations and advanced scenario modeling.

The value is straightforward: a few hundred dollars off select plans offsets the first stretch of paid usage, which is meaningful for teams watching every line of runway. Because Mantle already offers a free tier with unlimited stakeholders, the credit is most useful once a company graduates to features like in-platform exercising, preferred-stock issuance, board approvals, or bundled 409A work.

Qualification is generally open to founders and startups setting up or migrating their cap table, with the credit applied to eligible paid plans rather than the free Starter tier. Founders evaluating Mantle against legacy equity tools can use the program to test paid workflows at reduced cost before committing to an annual plan, making it a low-risk way to validate fit.

Early-stage founders setting up a clean cap table from existing SAFEs and option grants without paying per stakeholder.

Companies preparing to raise that need to model dilution and term-sheet scenarios before negotiating a priced round.

Teams needing 409A valuations who want audit-ready reports linked directly to option grants and bundled with cap table management.

Growth-stage startups managing board approvals, preferred-stock issuance, QSBS eligibility, and law-firm collaboration in one system.

Founders migrating off spreadsheets or legacy tools that were never designed for early-stage equity workflows.

Mantle offers a free Starter plan with unlimited stakeholders and core cap table features, with no per-user fees or credit card required, aimed at startups that have not yet completed a priced equity round.

Paid plans start at a flat rate (around $100 per month) for unlimited stakeholders and unlock advanced workflows such as in-platform exercising, preferred-stock and RSA issuance, board approvals, and deeper scenario modeling.

409A valuations are available on demand and can be bundled with cap table management as a combined annual package, priced to be accessible for early-stage companies. Exact pricing depends on plan and company stage; check the current plans page for details.
