Overview / Description
Mantle Clerk is an AI cap table management tool that helps startup founders run equity operations without needing a lawyer or CFO on hand. It reads incorporation documents, offer letters, and closing materials to extract cap table data, then walks users step by step from company formation through funding rounds. You can ask a question, drop in a document, or describe a deal that just closed, and Mantle Clerk records the change and drafts what comes next: grants, conversions, charter history updates, and board actions. A notable feature is its error-prevention logic, which flags missing prerequisites before mistakes happen (for example, catching an attempted conversion before the required share classes exist). It encodes the kind of equity expertise usually locked in a lawyer's head or a paralegal's inbox, making it aimed squarely at founders rather than only cap table specialists, "whether it's your first hire or your third round." Mantle Clerk is offered by Mantle (withmantle.com) and is currently in early access. Pricing is not published on the early-access page; it links to pricing plans and a free signup, but no specific tiers or costs are shown.
