Qapita began as a platform to manage cap tables after Ravulaparthi, during his earlier banking career, noticed that many companies still relied on spreadsheets. When the startup launched in January 2021, it expanded the platform based on early customer feedback to include an equity management tool for employee stock plans, initially released in beta.
