Eqvista

Every option-granting startup must buy a 409A. Eqvista hands out the cap table free, then sells the compliance.
Will it work? · our read
Owns the funnel. But 409A is a commodity Carta bundles for free, and the $22M revenue is an outside estimate Milar has never confirmed.

Revenue is NOT first-party disclosed. The only figure is Latka's estimate of about $22M ARR (2025), which Latka itself labels an estimation with no founder interview — so tagged Estimate, not independently confirmed. Founder-stated in interviews: 23,000+ companies, about $270-300B assets under administration, $0 outside funding, bootstrapped from his prior firms Startupr and IncParadise; he cited $50M+ only as a future ambition, not current revenue. Pricing ($990-2,590/yr for 409A, $2/stakeholder/mo) is from the live pricing page. The 'distribution moat via an owned incorporation funnel' framing is [our read] built on documented facts. No drama fabricated; Carta is the real competitive threat. One caveat on funding: "$0 outside funding" is founder-stated and is an as-of claim, not a guarantee - Eqvista filed a Reg CF offering with the SEC (Form C, 8 Nov 2022, up to about $5M, via Securitize) and then formally withdrew it (Form C-W, 9 Feb 2023). Those two filings are Eqvista Inc's entire EDGAR history, so no completed round is on record, and aggregator listings of a "$5M Series A" appear to be that withdrawn offering, mis-scraped. We never score you.
