'Co-pilots': What are they?

Co-pilots are additional users who can access your Cake account to help manage equity, collaborate on cap table updates, and support your equity administration.

Why add co-pilots?

Equity management often involves multiple people across finance, legal, HR, and leadership. Co-pilots let you bring in the right people with the right level of access:

  • No billing impact: add as many co-pilots as you need at no extra cost

  • Flexible permissions: assign view-only, edit, or admin access based on each person's role

  • Better collaboration: multiple team members can manage and review equity without sharing a single login

Who to add as a co-pilot

Common co-pilots include:

  • Finance leads managing cap table accuracy

  • HR managing employee equity grants

  • Legal counsel reviewing documents

  • Executive team members who need read-only visibility

How to add a co-pilot
