RedCrow CEO Brian Smith adds, “We are delighted to offer Astrella to RedCrow affiliated private companies. Tracking a cap table requires expertise and diligence and can cost investors millions of dollars if not done correctly. Providing Astrella free of charge to early-stage companies ensures that ownership is tracked accurately from the first day. At RedCrow, we are always looking for best practices to share with companies on our platform. We feel this partnership will benefit our clients.”
Astrella is the Silicon Valley-based business unit of ownership data management leader AST, using transformative technology to build a global cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. The solution combines immutable audit trails, artificial intelligence (AI), and predictive analytics to provide an integrated self-service solution that allows private companies to track their ownership throughout their life cycle.
AST PCS President Carine Schneider states, “Our mission is to provide all founders with the tools to track and model their ownership throughout the various rounds of investment up until exit. We are providing Astrella free of charge to all RedCrow companies with less than 15 stakeholders so there is no cost to use the system from the beginning. For those who have been using a spreadsheet, a simple conversion will allow the use of the system going forward.”
