Our mission

Equity should make sense to everyonewho's been granted it.

For most people, the offer letter they sign is the most consequential financial document of their career — and the one they understand the least. Cap tables, 409As, AMT, vesting cliffs, post-termination windows: it's opaque on purpose.

Cap Angel exists to flatten that asymmetry. We're building the calmest, smartest second opinion on your equity — available the moment the offer hits your inbox, free for the people who need it most.

Cappy the capybara mascot
Meet Cappy

A capybara is the calmest animal in the room.

That's the energy we wanted at the table when you're staring down a contract you've never seen before. Cappy doesn't flinch at fine print. He'll point out the clauses that matter, gently flag the ones that don't, and send you off to negotiate with a clear head.

The halo and wings? Just felt right.
