I've sat on both sides of the table — and neither side was being served.
As a founder, I raised with the usual duct-tape stack: a data room in one tool, a cap table in a spreadsheet, updates in a mailing list, and a pitch I only really stress-tested in the room, in front of the person writing the cheque.
Then I started looking at deals from the other side. The founders I wanted to back kept tripping on the same avoidable things — numbers that didn't reconcile across documents, a cap table nobody could read, updates that went quiet the moment things got hard.
EquityRoom is the system I wanted in both chairs: one place to run the raise and manage the equity, with an AI that asks the hard questions before a real investor does. Built in Australia, for how Australian founders actually raise.
