Is this real equity or a simplified version?

HYVV tracks real equity — shares or LLC units, options, vesting and grants — and revenue shares for people who shouldn’t hold equity, on one record.

Does HYVV file my 83(b) election?

No. HYVV drafts the 83(b) election from the grant and tracks the 30-day clock. You sign it and mail it to the IRS. Whether to make the election is a tax decision for you and your advisor.

Do we need a board to issue stock or units?

No. Approval is an optional step on each issuance: attach a resolution your board passed in HYVV, record an approval date yourself, or skip it.

What changes when we raise money?

Record each SAFE or convertible note as it’s signed, so every investor’s future stake is on the cap table before the round.

How it works

From the day you form to every grant after

Set up the company in HYVV and the cap table is written with it: your founder issuance, any vesting you agreed and a reserved option pool. Hyper Formation’s Startup and Concierge plans form the company with founder equity and first grants on it from day one.

Cap table history

Every issuance, repurchase, cancellation and vesting milestone is written to the same hash-chained ledger as payouts.
