Qapita to digitise records for startups across SEA, India

It has secured $2.44m in its seed funding round in September.

If records are systematically digitised today, then transactions can be digitised in the future.

According to equity management startup Qapita, without a digital system to record ownership and transaction details, there’s no single source of truth for company stakeholders to refer to in critical decision-making.

Qapita digitises the record systems for equity ownership, or cap tables, managed on Excel. Their platform also serves as a one-stop repository of all legal documents relating to equity such as the relevant filings, share certificates, shareholder agreements, and more.

Furthermore, Qapita uses a software-based approach to “succinctly, accurately, continuously, and systematically” communicate Employee Share Option Plans (ESOPs) to each employee. In addition, with the cap table and ESOPs digitised, more significant liquidity solutions will be created in the future.

“We are essentially a SaaS business model where the core self-serve services would be on a subscription basis, and additional features would require a premium, depending on both usage as well as functionalities,” Qapita said in an interview with Singapore Business Review.

Qapita has raised $2.44m (US1.8m) in seed funding in September, led by Vulcan Capital and other prominent early-stage investors such as Alto Partners Multi Family Office, Atin Kukreja (CEO, Rippledot Capital), Koh Boon Hwee, K3 Ventures, KDV Holdings, Mission Holdings, and several NorthStar Group Partners, including Patrick Walujo.

With a combined funding currently at around $3m, Qapita is focused on strengthening its team, accelerating product development, and building its client base.

Equipped with years of experience in investment banking, investments, software engineering, local expertise, as well as the latest tech stack, Qapita believes that execution of their go-to market strategies, product development, and partnerships are the key to success.

Their pricing strategy, they say, will be 100% product or feature-led, and they will leverage their experience in offering more value-added services.

According to Qapita, in five years, it will be a leading digital equity management platform that enables private capital transactions across SEA and India as well as an ideal place to learn and work.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
