New: Enhanced duplicate stakeholder detection

O
Shared by Owen • May 06, 2026

Pulley now automatically detects duplicate stakeholder records to help keep your cap table accurate and secure.

During grant creation, or when a stakeholder is created or edited, Pulley checks for existing email matches and provides notice when a duplicate is detected. From there, admins can merge records, update the email, or proceed as-is if the duplicate is intentional.

Potential existing duplicates are also surfaced directly in the Stakeholders section for easy review and resolution.

These improvements mean cleaner data, fewer downstream errors, and a lower risk of sensitive information reaching the wrong person, without sacrificing flexibility when duplicate emails are genuinely needed.

New ISO/NSO Exercise Flow Improvements

O
Shared by Owen • March 13, 2026

Issuing and exercising ISO/NSOs has implications for both the company and the stakeholder exercising. Companies need reliable processes and clean records, while stakeholders require flexibility to choose what to exercise.

Our updated ISO / NSO Exercise Flow now prompts stakeholders who have been issued both ISOs and NSOs to specify the number of vested ISOs and NSOs they want to exercise in a single request. Stakeholders gain control to exercise based on their own personal tax strategy, while admins benefit from clear visibility and clean, compliant documentation.

Here’s what’s changing:

Stakeholder updates:

  • Can now select how many ISOs vs. NSOs to exercise
  • Cost by type displayed during exercise request process
  • ISO/NSO breakdown visible in vesting schedules

Admin updates:

  • ISO/NSO type displayed in exercise request lists
  • Separate grants and exercise agreements generated automatically
  • Clean records and exportable reports provided for 3921 filings and audit review
  • Clear, per-grant split mechanics for ISO/NSO reporting

Shared by Owen • March 04, 2026

3 new stand-alone transaction reports — Granted, Cancelled, and RSA/RSU Settlement — provide a clear view into how equity grants move in and out of an equity incentive plan.

These new reports present transactions in a structured, exportable format that contains an executive summary for easy review. Exports also maintain the underlying formulas upon download, allowing you to use the reports to model updates, changes, and scenarios.​

Each unique report delivers comprehensive tracking and audit-ready data:

  • Granted Report: View and verify all newly granted equity awards and shares with clear insight into when, to whom, and under what terms new grants are issued
  • Cancelled Report: Easily track and audit shares returned to plan due to termination, expiration, and cancellation
  • RSA/RSU Settlement Report: See transaction-level detail for RSU and RSA settlement events that provides key information for reporting, calculations, and reconciliations
