I’m still flying high a day after. Open Cap Table Coalition is continuing to pick up momentum. We had over 30 organizations participate yesterday from across the world (San Francisco, New York, Toronto, London, Paris, Dubai, Tokyo …) and we now have a sister organization in Japan thanks to Masaru Sunny Sunagawa Mantle, Clara, Edda , Fairmint, Walter Software, Nasdaq Private Market and others have used an open standardized data format for startup equity information I proposed 4 years ago to build novel solutions and launch brand new business offerings. We continue to push for new standards and so we will shortly be releasing OCX v1.0 - excel based standardized cap table information with embedded calculations, to complement the existing OCF json formatting and validation tooling. Yesterday we heard that 3 major law firms are officially adopting OCX for their startup transaction and saw the first ever peer-to-peer cap table info exchange using the new standard. (will let those parties make official announcements) Both as a developer and investor, I am still trying to grasp the value that this ecosystem is creating. Thank you all for building a better foundation for startup ownership and governance.

I'm looking forward to attending ITechLaw European Conference on 30th October with my colleagues Philip Nolan and Caoimhe Ruane.

Reach out if you plan on attending! #MHCLaw #ITechLaw #TechnologyLaw #ITechLaw2024
