Keep your company’s records before a provider closes.
A checklist for exporting equity and financing records from any provider, in files you can open without it. Your counsel can tell you what your company must keep.
Pulley stops operating on December 8, 2026, as Dealroom reports.
1.Export everything, in files you can open without the provider
- The stock ledger: every issuance, transfer, repurchase and cancellation, as CSV or a spreadsheet.
- Each executed SAFE, convertible note and side letter as the signed PDF, with its certificate of completion when it was signed electronically.
- Stock purchase agreements, option grants and exercises, with the board approvals behind them.
- 409A valuation reports.
- Board and stockholder consents and minutes.
- 83(b) elections and the proof each was filed.
- Any export in the Open Cap Format (OCF) the provider offers.
2.Check what you exported
- Open each file on your own computer, away from the provider.
- Every security on the ledger has its signed document, and every grant its approval.
- Write down each file's SHA-256, so you can show later that it hasn't changed.
3.Keep it where you control it
- Two copies, in two places the company controls, such as its own drive and an offline copy.
- Note who at the company holds them, and give counsel a copy.
Delaware lets a corporation keep its records, including its stock ledger, electronically if they can be converted into clearly legible paper within a reasonable time (8 Del. C. §224).
Where Binderwork fits
Binderwork keeps a SAFE register, a stock ledger with options and vesting, the 409A valuations you record, and a document archive. It takes the whole export as it came, with each file’s SHA-256, turns the SAFE rows into register entries an officer confirms, and exports the register and the cap table at any time. It’s free and open source.
Binderwork is not a law firm and this is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney.
