OCF compliance

Data portability

Each of the coalition members will be working towards becoming Open Cap Table Format (OCF) compliant, so that founders and startup operators can use OCF providers, investors, and firms through a single cap table format. In short, this means no more messy cap table exchanges between law firms, VC firms, and other stakeholders.
