Pros The platform is intuitive both from an owner/admin perspective but also for employees which is vital as this might be the first interaction that people have had with equity products – making sure the process is clear and understood ensures adoption and realisation of the benefit for each individual! Cons Nothing of note - we utilise a good range of features and the platform performs well Review Source ND Neha D.

Deputy Manager HR Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent Experience with the Vested Team" July 28, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with the Vested team has been extremely positive. The team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, collaboration, and commitment throughout the engagement. They were proactive in their approach, responsive to requirements, and ensured smooth coordination at every stage. Pros I would like to specially thanks to \[sensitive content hidden\] for the excellent training sessions. He has been extremely supportive throughout the process and is always available to help whenever needed. His guidance, patience, and willingness to address every query made the learning experience very smooth and effective. His ability to explain concepts clearly and his approachable nature truly set him apart. I greatly appreciate the incredible support he provided at all times. Cons There was very little to dislike about Vestd overall. However, at times, certain processes could have been more streamlined to improve efficiency. Additionally, quicker turnaround on a few deliverables would have enhanced the overall experience. Review Source Thomas P. Managing Director Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Peace of mind & ease of use" September 22, 2020 5.0 This has been the real positive, the software just does what it needs to and maintains a clean record of our affairs. What has made Vestd such a good choice for us is the very detailed and thoughtful guidance before, during and long after signing up. They have made time and brain available to understand our business, its needs and objectives and given advice on that basis. Never with any pressure or spin. About a year ago I was interviewing someone for a job. She had previously worked in a small company which she'd been in from the get-go. It had sold. I mentioned something about how presumably she'd walked away with some reward from it all. Raw nerve touched. Long story short, the owner had set up EMI shares themselves but hadn't done it correctly. The buyer came in, saw that the shares were incorrectly administered and gave her nothing at all. Moral of the story: if you are going to do this stuff, do it right. Pros Like me, it's simple. It takes what is a potentially horrendously complex process and makes it simple and clear. The interface is very clear - that's both for me on the dashboard and for users who log in. Cons Not a lot to say on this front, nothing springs to mind. Of course, I'm not someone with deep knowledge of share issues so there are better people to ask out there, somewhere... Reason for choosing Vestd Can't remember what the alternatives were called. I was recommended to Vestd by my network of business contacts deriving from Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business course. Basically cohorts of fast growing SMEs. We have a shared resource hub where questions are posted, when people asked in the forum who to speak to about managing shares, share options, etc there were various suggestions made but the one which consistently came out most often and always first choice, was Vestd. Review Source Anna K. Founder Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great platform for equity management" April 10, 2024 5.0 Pros I loved the customer support and knowledge sharing offered by the professionals. We spent a lot of time to go through the platform in detail, understand and compare all the different options and select the one that worked the best for us. I felt very supported during the process and found it easy to set up. It has a great UX and UI, very pleasant to use. Cons We are totally happy with the platform and the customer support. Review Source Christopher A. Principal Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A very smart way to manage equity" September 1, 2020 5.0 I went to Vestd to help my clients find a cost-effective solution for creating and managing shares and share option schemes. For me, the software does the heavy lifting and leaves a very useable, complete and well-documented interface for clients should they wish to bring the management of their newly-created schemes fully inhouse. I get to do what I enjoy most - helping the clients design their schemes and spending more of my paid-time on what interests the client rather than what is interesting to lawyers. If clients wish me to remain manager of the scheme, the software makes that decision very economic for them. Additionally, the Vestd valuation process (for EMIs) is done in person by Vestd very professionally and cost-effectively, reducing the number of plates spinning during a project. Pros It is very easy to follow and its content and output is very high quality. The background material, context and instructions, is very helpful to lay clients as well as a very good ruler for the lawyer to follow. The in-person support is like talking to a knowledgeable and experienced colleague. Cons I don't have any reservations. Vestd's mix of software tools with professional in-person support is impressive Review Source Jo W. EA to Global President and CFO Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ben Rogers is a star" March 19, 2024 5.0 Knowing I have Ben to lean on is a great comfort. Thanks for your help Ben! Pros I recently had some complicated unapproved share options to sort for a number of our American employees. Being new to the platform, I wasn't sure how things worked but he was super helpful in guiding me through the whole process. Cons It can be quite confusing if you haven't used it much before, but ben made it very easy for me to understand the platform Review Source Andy G. Co-Founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product " March 16, 2022 5.0 Pros Extremely easy to use, intuitive and great support. Cons More document templates would be nice, but this is a minor qualm. Review Source JL James L. CFO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great platform and support team" October 31, 2024 5.0 Very positive and would definitely recommend. Pros Really easy to use with great functionality. Also there is a really helpful and responsive team to answer and resolve any questions / problems. Cons It is quite expensive as a product, but i rationalise that by the support team that sits around the software itself Review Source GH Gohar H. Head of Business Operations Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing product and outstanding quality of the service" June 14, 2024 5.0 Overall, what I would specifically distinguish is the speed and the patience that Vestd dealt with my requests. I would lover to especially thank \[sensitive content hidden\] for her competence and professionalism demonstrated during the onboarding process, valuation organization. Also, when \[sensitive content hidden\] was off, her team picked up all the queries promptly and efficiently. I would also like to thank \[sensitive content hidden\] for his patience and positive approach during the sales process - It took more than a year to make a deal on this, but it happened. Overall, the impression from the team is that they are motivated and ready to address all the needs of the customer on the best possible level. Pros I liked the product overall. From concept to details. Onboarding was very well organized, with right amount of the info. Setting up an equity program is not an easy task and usually requires vast amount of time spent with legal and HR professionals to set this up. With their organization and easy-to use product they made very complex things doable. The employee self-service part and provision of visibility, notifications and explanation of the complex material is on highest level. Cons Nothing to tell so far. This was one of the best customer experience I had compared to other B2B products. Review Source JV Josipa V. Operations Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great platform and even better customer support" May 26, 2023 5.0 Pros I had an amazing experience using this platform! The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. From the moment we signed up, they guided us every step of the way, ensuring that we had a seamless experience. Their expertise was evident as they addressed all my questions and concerns promptly and with great detail. It was refreshing to interact with a team that was well-informed about their platform. Additionally, the platform itself is exceptionally well-organized. The layout is intuitive, making it easy to navigate and find exactly what I needed. The categorization and search functionalities are top-notch. Overall, the staff's helpfulness and the platform's organization make this an exceptional platform that I highly recommend. Cons No complaints, everything was top notch. Review Source MC Michael C. People Ops Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use and great customer support" December 22, 2023 5.0 Pros The ease of use, simple steps and clear guides available. The customer is second to none. Special shout out to \[sensitive content hidden\] who guided me through multiple new situations this year. Cons The initial platform wasn't as clear but since the update it is better and more user friendly/ clearer UX. Reason for choosing Vestd I wasn't involved with the purchase/ selection of the platform Review Source ID Irina D.

COO Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great platform for your EMI needs" December 19, 2023 5.0 Brilliant - Talented staff, Kudos to \[sensitive content hidden\] aswell as a really solid product thats easy to use and manage. Pros It's exceptionally well built so kudos to the product team. It takes away a load of headache from my perspective as a founder as I can handle all elements of our EMI scheme in one place. Cons If you dont know much about the EMI scheme its a bit of a headache to grasp, but Vestd are available to support you through that process. Less of a con about Vestd and more a con of EMI/HMRC as a whole. Review Source EJ Elliot J. Founder Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product and customer service" May 24, 2024 5.0 Used it issue share certificates during our funding rounds, to visualise the equity cap table, to complete admin tasks for companies house and HMRC, and to set up our EMI share scheme for employees. Would definitely recommend it and found it to be incredibly useful. Pros Ease of use, lots of help articles, lots of automations, synced with Companies House, great customer service. Cons Fairly costly, but would certainly say it's worth the cost. Review Source JR Juliette R. CFO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Vestd Product and Team are awesome" January 16, 2024 5.0 Pros Vestd has so many capabilities across Company filings, share capital, share issues etc. There are many more additional services and the bank of legal documents is amazingly helpful. Cons The monthly fee for the full product is quite high for a start up business. Review Source AM Andrea M. Fractional CFO Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing software, amazing team. You're in good hands. " May 1, 2024 5.0 Pros \- Equity Management can get messy and overwhelming to track - Vestd makes all these procedural steps less frustrating and streamlined - Even if you're lost, the team is so knowledgable and reactive, you will never feel like you need an internal expert to ensure you're doing things the right way Special shoutout to \[sensitive content hidden\] Cons Nothing I can think of at the moment?

Finance Director Building Materials Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good product and service " March 20, 2024 5.0 Pros The ease of use once the products been setup has been brilliant and makes filings alot easier and cheaper than it's alternatives Cons The initial product setup was a challenge to bring our structure to the platform, but that's not a Vest'd problem Review Source LR Lucy R. Operations Lead Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great platform with excellent customer support" May 10, 2024 5.0 Pros Customer support is excellent - prompt responses, happy to get on calls to explain, very knowledgeable Cons I wish there was more customisation available in simulating cap tables Review Source SD Sabine D. Managing Partner Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "\[sensitive content hidden\] provides outstanding customer service" July 31, 2024 5.0 Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] is a star. The customer service is excellent and the best I have experienced for any platform. Cons The whole process you have to go through in order to register shares with HMRC. However, to be fair that relates more to HMRC than Vestd.
