OUR STORY

We watched great founders lose their raise to six disconnected tools.

Capstack started with a pattern we kept seeing from both sides of the table. Good companies, strong founders, and a fundraising process held together with exports, spreadsheets and memory.

THE GENESIS

The problem was never the founders.

Jamal spent 12+ years in PwC's M&A practice. Saad is a 3x founder and Founder in Residence at Antler. Between us, we've sat on both sides of hundreds of capital conversations, and we kept seeing the same raise:

Investor listDatabase export Pitch deckFreelance designer PipelineSpreadsheet OutreachEmail tool Data roomShared drive StrategyAd-hoc advisor

Six tools that don't talk to each other, and the founder holding it all together.

WHAT BROKE
Investor lists ignored thesis, stage and cheque size No one knew which deck version an investor had seen Follow-ups relied on memory, so warm leads went cold Diligence started late, and from zero Founders raising across the US and GCC had nothing built for both

So we built Capstack: the whole raise in one place, with one record per investor from first match to term sheet, and our team working inside it with you.
