DealCycl, Inc. today announced the launch of DealCycl Company, a cap table management and corporate governance platform for startups and private companies. DealCycl Company is the first cap table platform to offer a contractual commitment to data sovereignty — a legally binding guarantee that customer data will never be used to broker trades, contact investors, or monetize equity information.
DealCycl Company will be available starting April 27, 2026 at dealcycl.com/company.
Built in Response to an Industry Trust Crisis
DealCycl was founded in direct response to the January 2024 Carta data incident, in which the dominant cap table provider was caught using confidential cap table data to cold-contact investors about selling their shares without company knowledge or consent. The incident prompted multiple companies to publicly document unauthorized outreach to their investors and raised fundamental questions about data governance across the cap table industry.
"Founders trust their cap table provider with the most sensitive information their company produces — shareholder identities, ownership percentages, compensation data, investor terms," said Chris Goodwin, CEO and co-founder of DealCycl. "When we saw the industry leader treating that data as a business development resource, we knew the market needed a platform built by people who actually understand data security at an institutional level. DealCycl is that platform."
Enterprise Security DNA
DealCycl was founded by Chris Goodwin and Chris Caldwell, both enterprise security and governance veterans with over 20 years of experience building platforms for Wall Street banks and Fortune 500 companies. Goodwin was the lead architect of RSA Archer, one of the most widely deployed governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platforms in enterprise security. Caldwell co-founded and served as CEO of Lockpath, a GRC platform that was scaled to a PE-backed acquisition by NAVEX Global.
"We spent our careers building platforms that protect the most sensitive data in enterprise security," said Chris Caldwell, COO and co-founder of DealCycl. "DealCycl brings that same standard to startups. Every architecture decision, every access control, every data handling policy is built to the level that Fortune 500 companies demand — because your cap table deserves nothing less."
Platform Highlights
DealCycl Company launches with a full-featured cap table management and corporate governance platform:
- Real-time digital cap table with full transaction history across common stock, preferred stock, SAFEs, convertible notes, options, and warrants
