US-only venture-backed startups (Carta or Pulley better fit), late-stage US pre-IPO (Carta or Shareworks better), APAC startups (Qapita better fit), or buyers prioritizing US 409A depth.
European startups and scale-ups (10-2,000 employees) where GDPR-native architecture, EU data residency, and EU equity scheme support (EMI, BSPCE, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung) matter.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Ledgy’s product card in our Top 10 Cap Table & Equity Management Software for 2026:
- ! Weaker US presence than Carta or Pulley
- ! Smaller installed base outside Europe
- ! US 409A valuation depth below Carta
- ! Brand recognition lower in NA venture-backed
- ! Smaller integration ecosystem (~40)
If Ledgy is wrong for you, consider these instead
Same Cap Table / Equity Management category, different best-fit buyer.
