The original share scheme and equity management platform for UK startups and SMEs. Creating teams that are all in.
About us
Our mission is to create a world in which everybody has a stake, because anyone who contributes to a company's success deserves: 🥧 A slice of the pie ⚽ Skin in the game We believe (as research shows) that company share schemes improve loyalty, productivity and performance. And that builds stronger businesses - driven by motivated teams. As the UK's first and most advanced share scheme platform for startups, scaleups and SMEs, we know a thing or two about share schemes! To quote one of our customers, "What Vestd doesn't know about share schemes isn't worth knowing". We make it simple for company leaders to give their teams shares or options. And not just to employees, but advisors, contractors, freelancers too, in fact, anyone who helps make a business a success. We have a ton of resources on employee share schemes and products specifically to support early-stage startups too. Vestd supports Ordinary Shares, Enterprise Management Incentives, Growth Shares, Unapproved Options, and Agile Partnerships™. Customers can also digitise an existing share scheme, set up a UK limited company and apply for SEIS and EIS advance assurance. 🚀 Helped thousands of founders share equity ⭐ Rave reviews on Capterra & G2 🥇 FinTech50 2023 (TechRound) 🥇 Fintech Company of the Year finalist 2023 (Fintech Awards London) 🥇 A UK Culture Leader (Breathe HR) 🥇 Hottest Startup 2021 (The Europas) 🥇 Top Tech for Good Companies 2021 (TechRound) 👥 60+ employees 💻 Fully remote 🌍 UK-based To learn more about Vestd, our team or share schemes, head to our website.

Wednesday was nothing short of epic! During the day, we proudly welcomed 40 new graduates to the ĀVA Angel Investing Course. Instructed by Araya's Founder and Managing Partner Rupa Ganatra Popat. One attendee shared: "This is everything you need to know when starting out your angel investment journey. Rupa shares everything so generously and honestly, I couldn’t recommend it enough." 👏 With this milestone, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve now surpassed 200 graduates since launching the academy last year! The day didn’t end there. In the evening, we headed to Google to host 50 ĀVA Angels and 70 female founders alongside our incredible partner, Female Founders Rise. Our fantastic panel - Emmie Faust, Sameer Singh, Nasreen A., and Monik Pham - shared valuable insights on angel investing, as well as advice for founders and their biggest investor turnoffs. A special thanks to our sponsors, Google Cloud and Vestd, for making it possible ❤️ It was wonderful to see so many meaningful conversations and connections happening throughout the evening. We’re so excited to watch the impact of these connections grow 💫 If you’d like to learn more about our Angel Investing Course—or know someone who should join in 2025—tag them below 👇 Here’s to an even bigger 2025 with more courses, events, and opportunities for our ĀVA community. We can’t wait to continue growing with you!

2nd to last lunch of the year at the always wonderful BloomsYard We want to come up with a 1 sentence name for these lunches, any ideas? Please feel free to share in the comments and the best answer will win a free lunch 🤪 oh and 3 months of app access, which goes into beta testing next week! It was great to have Phil Learney join us because it was actually Phil's book that I was reading 11 years ago which had a chapter on nutrition for PCOS. Simultaneously I'd just started working with 1 of my first ever clients, she mentioned she had PCOS as a passing comment, not in relation to what we were doing but for the hirsutism When I sent her a picture of the chapter asking was this the condition she had, a week or so later Her reply was “ OMG are you looking into this for me” I was honest and said it was a coincidence, I didn’t know there were specific nutrition considerations for PCOS “ That would have won you some serious brownie points but I appreciate the honesty” It was in the moment I vowed to never have a female client again tell me a condition she was experiencing and not be able to facilitate a conversation with them about it or not be able to take the condition into account with my coaching So, thank you PhIl (+Emily) for the trajectory you set I had no idea where it would lead by 11 years later I’m really glad I stayed curious and always tried to do right by my female clients by learning everything I could to make them feel safe, supported and get effective results Because it’s led to building Nexus with Dr Kerry, Holly, Clare, Kishan, Jagdeep Singh, PhD, Stutii, Abhishek, Mayank, Izzy It’s always a privilege to have you at these events Phil! It was also amazing to catch up with the newest member of the team Dr Frances Conti-Ramsden MSc MBBS MRCP. Fran deserves her own post and I'm running out of characters but it's a honour to have you here and I'm so excited to learn from you / build with you Thanks so much for joining us, it was amazing to see you, catch up / meet you! -Freya MacCormack -Emily Hughes -Katherine Fitch -Aoife Spillane -Elizabeth Cowper Chartered FCIPD -Kamini Balaji -Nour Kayali -Megan Hunter -Jess Bews Alakina Mann The last lunch of the year is next Fri 6th Dec, 12.30pm BloomsYard Liverpool St. It's already full but if you'd like to join drop me a message and let's see what we can do! These lunches are free to join thanks to the generosity off: Thank you to Jack Luis Baeza at Vestd and Andy Clarke from Standout Vestd supports early-stage founders raise capital. We provide S/EIS Advance Assurance, pitch deck templates, investment modeling, legal docs, data rooms, leveraging our Companies House integration—all in one seamless platform with no % of your round Andy built a medtech company with his co-founders so as well as knowing our sector inside out from a recruitment standpoint he’s also been able to add some much additional value outside of the amazing candidates he’s brought forwards for us

There’s 2 spaces left for tomorrow's lunch - for health tech / female founders. 1.30pm at BloomsYard Liverpool St. And I’m really excited to announce they are now free to attend thanks to these awesome sponsors! Please give a follow to say thank you to Jack Luis Baeza at Vestd and Andy Clarke at Standout If you'd like to join this Thursday or next Friday 6th December then drop me a message with your email address. Please tag and share with a female founder or someone working in health tech who lives in or around London! A massive thank you to the community who have joined and shared these lunches which has proved their value and therefore for them sponsored which means we can continue to grow them and do some exciting things to further support female founders / those working in health tech. I wouldn't work with a company I haven't personally used and we use Vestd now for our cap table management and Andy having an oncology / health tech background himself found some incredible candidates for our female co-founder role position. BloomsYard Liverpool St is a great spot for a call or meeting so if your lunch break is back to back then consider taking your call/ meeting there so you can still join us!
