Our Vision

Public companies are bound by a set of regulations that require them manage their ownership records and structures. This enables them to not only to protect all shareholders but also power transparent exchange of ownership and value.

However, for private companies, there is no central management of ownership data and compliance is often poor. Manual processes, limited number of skilled professionals and the absence of a single source of truth has resulted in private companies suffering from limited liquidity, high financing costs and delays.

Rulezero is re-imagining private markets by blending technology and law to offer a platform to enable stakeholder participation and capital flow in a transparent, efficient and compliant manner.

Our Story

The founders, Satish and Srinivas in their past experience of over 20 years as VC/entrepreneur and VC/PE lawyer witnessed firsthand the growing pains of private companies and entrepreneurs where mistakes in ownership data led to unnecessary risks and costs.

The founders believed if a solution was built to empower all participants in this ecosystem; from entrepreneurs to legal professionals and investors, companies would focus on building better businesses.

The cap table which is the primary store of all ownership data is no longer seen as a system of record but as a system of intelligence with accurate, compliant and single source of data powered by modeling and forecasting tools.

Rulezero was born in 2019 to build such a platform.
