Invite Stakeholders to My Cake Portal
My Cake is a separate portal where your investors and employees can view their equity holdings, sign documents, check valuations, and manage their portfolio details. You invite stakeholders to their portal from within your Cake admin account.
Before you start
The stakeholder must already exist in your Cake account (either added manually or through a cap table import).
Investors and employees access My Cake with their own login, separate from your company admin account.
Check the status next to their name — Active user means they've already set up and accessed their account.
Invite a stakeholder
Go to People → All or navigate to the relevant security in Cap Table and find the stakeholder.
Check the box next to their name to select (you can select multiple).
Click Invite.
Confirm the email address the invitation will be sent to.
Click Send invitation.
The stakeholder will receive an email inviting them to set up their My Cake account. Once they've signed up, they can log in at any time to view their holdings.
Corporate and entity shareholders
When a shareholder is a company, trust, or other entity, invite them the same way as any individual stakeholder (see above) — but keep two things in mind.
Company signers are separate from portal access
Company Signer #1 and Company Signer #2 (set via People → All → [entity] → Edit) control who documents get routed to for signature on behalf of the entity. They don't affect who can log in and view the shareholding — that's the invite process above.
Only one login per entity shareholder
An entity shareholder record supports one email address for My Cake access at a time. If more than one person (for example, two directors or signatories) needs to view the holding, they currently need to share that single login — each person can't have a separate login against the same entity record.
If your structure is a bare trust instead (a trustee holding shares for named beneficiaries), beneficiaries are tracked individually rather than sharing one login — see Create and Manage Bare Trusts.
Invite all stakeholders
Go to People → All or navigate to the relevant security in Cap Table
Click + Invite to My Cake at the top of the page.
Click Send invitation.
Invitations expire after 60 days
An invitation stays active for 60 days. If the stakeholder doesn't sign up and complete their registration in that time, their status reverts to Not Invited.
To give them access again, re-invite them using the steps above. This sends a fresh invitation email and restarts the 60-day window.

Trouble shooting
Stakeholders receive their My Cake invitation from no-reply@mail.cakeequity.com. If they can't find the email, ask them to:
Check their Spam or Junk folder.
Ask their IT team to whitelist
no-reply@mail.cakeequity.comif their organisation has strict email filtering.
If a stakeholder hasn't accepted their invitation, you can resend it at any time using the same steps above. If someone you've previously invited is showing as Not Invited, their invitation has likely expired — see Invitations expire after 60 days above.
