Orchestra

What Orchestra is
Orchestra is a web-based equity-management platform for companies that need to track ownership and manage investor relations. It maintains a share register and real-time cap table, records ownership changes, and produces reports on ownership, dilution, and transactions. Companies can track share classes, manage options, import cap tables, and model dilution and fundraising scenarios, with multiple export formats available. Employee share schemes can include vesting schedules and offer documents that are managed and signed digitally. Through an investor app, stakeholders can view securities, current share prices, estimated holding values, company documents, and communications. Employees have a personalised app for equity value, vesting, and exercise information. Orchestra connects with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission and New Zealand Companies Office for registry updates, and automates dividend calculations, statements, and payments in Australia and New Zealand. DocuSign signing is available within the platform for up to five signatures. Multi-factor authentication is mandatory. Orchestra says customer data access is restricted to the team members administering the service, and that Sharesies staff outside that team cannot access it. The company was acquired by Sharesies in April 2024. Pricing is available on request.
