What do you like best about Vestd?

Its fair to say that we were a difficult client, with a complicated share capital structure (5 classes of share) and very particular requirements that needed addressing quickly. We wanted to use Vestd for company secretarial services and Companies House integration as well as for setting up and administering a share option scheme. Other platforms that we looked at told us they could not help. Vestd deployed its development team to amend the platform to accomodate our needs, without fuss or charging us more. The onboarding, investment and valuation teams (special thanks to James Schembri, Leo Freschini and Ashley Chambers) were incredibly responsive and attentive. It was great to work with a SaaS product that is willing and able to update and improve its software in a quick and agile manner and provide such personalised support. Thank you Vestd. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vestd?

Nothing springs to mind at the moment, the plafrorm does what it sets out to do, and provided that Vestd keep adding functionality and refinements, it will be a leader in its field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their knowledge about the platform and subject matter was truly impressive, and they were able to answer all my queries in a prompt, thorough and understandable manner. It was evident that they genuinely cared about me as a client and were dedicated to ensuring that I had the best possible experience.

Moreover, the platform itself is incredibly well-organized. The layout is clean and logical, making it effortless to navigate. The information is presented in a structured manner, making it easy to find what I was looking for. The platform's organization truly enhances the overall user experience and sets it apart from others in the industry. I am immensely grateful for the staff's helpfulness and the platform's organization, which made my time using Vestd truly enjoyable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly don't know how we would have coped without Vestd. They helped with our EMI shares as well as 2 funding rounds. Ben Rogers was really helpful with some recent issues. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vestd?

The support provided by staff. I have had to ask for help on many occasions and sometimes to go over old ground. It is never a problem.

Honestly, one of the best delivery and support processes I have ever used. From the initial sales process to implementation and to ongoing support everything is first rate. James who has been supporting me recently has the patience of a Saint :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Vestd?

The folks on the Vestd team have been extremely helpful in getting my team up and running with an EMI scheme. Having no previous experience with or understanding of the scheme, I had an endless stream of questions, which the team handled with an abundance of patience. I especially want to give a shout out to Mark Harrison, who not only handled my non-stop barrage of questions, but also kept me on track when the timing slipped my mind. Thank you!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vestd?

Some things cannot be updated myself without Vestd approval (though this could be a good thing - keeps me from accidentally messing things up). Also, our Articles of Association were previously filed with a different company, and because of this, Vestd is not allowed to look at my Articles to confirm that I'm not doing something wrong. (I understand it would be a significant undertaking when I didn't use Vestd for this, but just thinking of if I could ask for anything, regardless of whether it's reasonable.)
