Nth Round
Nth Round is a Philadelphia-based fintech that builds equity-management software for private companies, family businesses, and funds. Its white-labeled platform combines cap table management, shareholder communications, proxy voting, document distribution, and internal liquidity windows into a single secure portal - so companies with hundreds of shareholders across multiple stock classes and generations can keep records accurate, keep owners engaged, and let shares change hands without a public market.
Vested
Vested is a Miami-based fintech that helps startup employees turn their stock options into real value without paying out of pocket. It funds the cost of exercising options - the strike price, estimated taxes and fees - in exchange for a slice of the shares if and when a liquidity event happens. Alongside the capital, Vested offers free tools: an equity dashboard, the 'Vestimate' valuation estimate, outcome simulators and an Equity 101 education library, so option-holders can understand, track and act on equity that would otherwise expire unused.

A Dartmouth cognitive science graduate who oversaw software at the $25B quant firm AJO Partners before launching the company with his father in 2018, he is a self-described saver and Bogle-style passive investor on a mission to simplify and democratize private investing.
