    During the COVID pandemic, the airline companies were taking a big hit on travel and I saw this as a great opportunity to invest in airline stock because its value in the market had dropped tremendously. I used this opportunity to invest in multiple airline stocks through e-trade by buying the stock at an all-time low for airline stock. It was a great investment for me in the long term.

    • At the time, couldn't calculate a formula based on milestone vesting
    • Had some small hiccups with calculating stock option compensation expense, but Capshare was able to solve over time.

    We had a great team consisting of two Solium Shareworks admin experts, and one financial reporting expert to help us with the implementation. After the implementation, I feel we are in good hands with the Solium Shareworks relationship manager. We have quarterly contact with the team when new grants need to be added. Other then that, we are self-sufficient with the tool.

    robinhood is similar to e-trade but they are geared more to bitcoin and companies that may not be offered on E*TRADE because they are off-market companies.

    We like Carta because they offer transfer agent services in addition to Cap Table management. Shareworks is the upgraded Capshare. This is for IPO ready companies who are ready to take the next steps

    Return on Investment
    E*TRADE
    • Limit how much you want invest.
    • This is an open trade website and there is a risk of losing your money based on your investments.
    • If you make some sound investments and keep yourself within a budgeted spending limit there is the opportunity to make money on e-trade.
