What do you like best about Fidelity Private Shares?

When our firm was evaluating a new equity record platform, what stood out the most about ShooBx was the team both on the sales and product side, as well as the ease of use from the interface. The functionality that the platform offers is full circle from data room, fund raising scenario planning, equity grants, board consents, and independent 409a valuations. The independent 409a valuation functionality was key for us when selecting a platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fidelity Private Shares?

Nothing comes to mind during the sales and onboarding process or the use of portal that we did not or don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fidelity Private Shares solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving our fundraising scenario planning, cap table management, ASC-17 compliance, 409a valuation, and equity incentive program management all in one platform which brings simplicity to the already hectic start-up space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything. Workflows, Templates, Support. We have found Shoobx to be incredibly valuable. Can't imagine having started an Inc. withouth the help of Shoobx. I just wish I had Shoobx like help in other areas of the business. Truly well done! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fidelity Private Shares?

The only thing that has been a really minor pain point (and only the first time we use it) is what to xpect on a workflow. The documentation is good but sometimes the only way to find out has been complete the workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fidelity Private Shares?

I've been running our company legal and Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fidelity Private Shares?

Cap table on Shoobx for three years now and overall we've been really happy with it. From setting up your corporation, to hiring your team, to issuing stock, Shoobx has standardized most of the common transactions that corporations undertake and enables users to prepare and execute paperwork quickly and hassle free. I'm the end, all your docs are stored in one place and your cap table is perfectly managed. World class customer support to boot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fidelity Private Shares solving and how is that benefiting you?

Doc preparation, cap table management, and data storage. These benefits are invaluable when going through venture financings. We've raised two institutional rounds since launching and investor's counsel breezed through Shoobx-generated documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fidelity Private Shares?

The incredible level of customer support provided by the Shoobx team. Transitioning from having to wait for lawyers to more of a self-serve model is really daunting but the Shoobx team is so supportive of founders that I always feel like I'm in good hands. They're so quick to respond and so lovely to work with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fidelity Private Shares?

Um, I wish I knew more about equity management in general. I wish it was maybe easier to see user accessibility, because often my investors reach out asking for information on the portal and I'm not sure why they don't access it (probably bc it's easier to email me instead?) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fidelity Private Shares solving and how is that benefiting you?

No current problems. Main benefit is being able to take care of legal tasks relative to equity without having to pay enormous legal fees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fidelity Private Shares?

The data room feature is huge - no more confusion about where to store what files and no more mad scrambles to track down important documents during due diligence.

The best part of working with Shoobx is the people. They are phenomenal - knowledgeable, quick to grasp the issue and responsive. Hands down, one of the best customer experiences ever! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fidelity Private Shares?

When documents are generated through Shoobx and sent to third parties for execution, third parties have to create an account and since Shoobx is relatively unknown, many push back and ask for alternative e-signature methods. This unfortunately diminishes the automation and systematic storage feature. Editing workflows or templates can also be confusing but the customer success team is super responsive and helpful when you need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fidelity Private Shares solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having one centralized location for all documents and files.

Tracking promised grants for new hires can be a major pain point for companies that are rapidly growing and hiring. This feature in Shoobx is a time saver and ensures no new hire is accidentally omitted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Fidelity Private Shares?

Intuitive workflows and amazing customer support! As a first-time founder, I really appreciate how they have helped me self-serve on basic legal tasks (issuing equity, setting up board resolutions, running financing scenarios...) thus bringing down our legal fees by $1000s each month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fidelity Private Shares?

The UI is a bit dated but I believe they are actively working on this. Don't let it be a deterrent! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fidelity Private Shares solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Fidelity Private Shares?

Shoobx is deeply committed to ensuring the customer has a great experience with their offerings. Their customer success team has become our standard for exemplary support. They are extremely responsive and partner with us to ensure all workflows are completed as desired. They have gone above and beyond our expectations in many instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fidelity Private Shares?

The biggest pain point is the inability to naturally edit earlier stages of a workflow without erasing work that was done in a later stage. That being said, their customer success team has gone above and beyond to complete this work behind the scenes to avoid duplicative work. In addition, the product has improved greatly in the year that I have been using it (new features, enhanced speed). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fidelity Private Shares solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Shoobx for both cap table management and HR workflows. The HR workflows are great for earlier-stage companies that allow an organization to cut down on superfluous legal expenses while also providing the legal protections based upon the jurisdictions in which you operate (offer letters tailored to each state, documenting change forms). The inclusion of the HR workflows is a nice financial benefit compared to a pure cap table management platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
