Slyced vs Gust Equity
Gust Equity Management is part of the broader Gust platform, originally built to support investor relations and startup-investor introductions. The cap table tool is functional for very early teams but lacks the fundraising depth and data room capabilities that come standard in Slyced.

Frequently asked questions
What's Gust Equity actually good for?
Gust's strength is the broader network — investor introductions, accelerator applications, and a basic incorporation/legal workflow through Gust Launch. The cap table tool exists as part of that ecosystem rather than as a stand-alone fundraising platform. If you primarily want network access, keep Gust; if you want a modern cap table command center, move to Slyced.
Can I use Gust for introductions and Slyced for the cap table?
Yes — many founders do exactly that. You can keep your Gust profile for visibility with angels and accelerators, and run your actual cap table, data room, and fundraising CRM on Slyced. The two don't conflict.
How do I migrate from Gust Equity to Slyced?
Export your Gust cap table as CSV from the Gust dashboard. Sign up for Slyced and use the import wizard. Stakeholders, share classes, and grants come over automatically. Takes about 30 seconds.
Does Slyced replace Gust Launch (incorporation)?
Slyced doesn't handle incorporation paperwork — for that, use Stripe Atlas, Clerky, or Gust Launch. Slyced takes over once you have your Delaware C-corp and need to manage the cap table and fundraising from that point forward.
