Capital Stack Governance

Your capital stack has structure.
Does your visibility?

Equity lives in cap table tools. Debt lives in spreadsheets and PDFs. Legal rights live in a lawyer's folder. StackLens brings seniority, consent, and control into one system of record — built for CFOs of structurally complex companies.

The Problem

Your capital structure evolved. Your tools didn't.

Capital structures change with every funding round, ownership shift, and refinancing — but the systems tracking them stay static and disconnected. Here's where that gap shows up.

EQUITY Ordinary shares, preference stock, and options sit in a cap table tool — with no view of what they owe to debt above them. → Carta, spreadsheets
DEBT Term loans, RCFs, and shareholder loans live in scattered spreadsheets and signed PDFs, disconnected from the equity stack. → Files, inboxes
CONTROL Consent rights, vetoes, and covenants sit in legal agreements no one re-reads until an event forces them to. → Lawyers' folders
RESULT Nobody has a single, structured view of who sits where, who ranks above whom, and who must consent to what. → Governance risk
The Product

One layer above your existing tools.

StackLens doesn't replace your cap table or accounting software — it sits above them, as the system of record for capital structure logic.

01 — Instrument Registry

Every instrument, one place

Register every debt and equity instrument across five asset classes and fifteen sub-types, each with only the fields relevant to it — no generic forms.

02 — Capital Structure

See the whole stack at once

Visualise the full waterfall — senior debt down to ordinary equity — ordered by seniority, with amount, rate, and maturity in one view.

03 — Consent Power Map

Know who blocks what

See exactly which instruments block which corporate events — M&A, refinancing, disposals — and what consent threshold is needed to clear it.

04 — Entity Management

Group structure, mapped

Map parent, sub, and SPV entities with ownership percentages, and link every instrument back to the entity that issued it.

Who It's For

Built for structural complexity, not headcount.

The qualifying question isn't how many people or entities you have — it's how complex your capital and control have become.
