The operating system for employee ownership.
Phantom equity, vesting and liquidity — engineered for trust, transparency and scale. A complete reference for finance leaders, founders and people teams.
The operating system for employee ownership.
Longpass turns phantom equity, vesting and liquidity into a transparent, fintech-grade experience — built for modern companies and the people who make them.
The way modern companies share upside with their teams has not kept up with the way they actually grow. Spreadsheets, PDFs and email threads still run programs worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Employees rarely understand what they own, finance cannot reconcile in real time, and liquidity becomes a fire drill the moment a window opens.
Longpass is the operating system that replaces this. A single, role-aware platform for admins, employees and operators — with policy-driven workflows, an immutable audit trail, and the kind of clarity people expect from their bank, not their HR portal.
A complete walk-through of the platform, our liquidity model, security posture, pricing and roadmap — written for decision-makers evaluating phantom equity infrastructure.
- One source of truth. Plans, grants, vesting schedules and ledgers in one auditable system.
- Employee-first UX. Every teammate sees what they own, what's vested and what's payable — live.
- Liquidity windows. Structured cash-out events with caps, proration and policy controls.
- Enterprise security. SOC 2 controls, RBAC, full audit trail and SSO support.
Ownership today is opaque, manual and untrusted.
Most companies still run phantom equity in spreadsheets and PDFs. Employees can't see what they own. Finance can't reconcile. Liquidity becomes a quarter-long project.
Equity programs were designed for a world of annual board meetings and printed certificates. Today's companies onboard remotely across a dozen jurisdictions, change their cap table weekly, and run liquidity events on quarterly cycles. The old toolchain cannot keep up.
What breaks today
- Fragmented records. Grants live across HR, finance and legal — with no canonical source.
- Low trust. Employees rarely understand grants, cliffs or tax treatment.
- Manual reconciliation. Finance rebuilds the cap table every quarter from scratch.
- Fire-drill liquidity. Each window is a bespoke spreadsheet project.
- No audit trail. Edits, approvals and payouts are scattered across email.
- Cross-border complexity. FX, withholding and policy gates compound the chaos.
“Trust collapses when people can't see what they own. Most equity programs lose value before they ever pay out.”
One platform. Three connected experiences.
Longpass brings admins, employees and operators onto a single ownership platform — with real-time data, beautiful UX and policy-driven controls baked in.
We designed Longpass as one platform with three first-class surfaces. The data model is shared — every action by an admin updates what an employee sees instantly, and every payout flows through the same audit trail an operator can inspect.
Issue grants, manage vesting, schedule windows and run reports.
See grants, vesting progress and payable balance. Withdraw during open windows.
Manage multiple companies, monitor health and enforce platform policy.
“Every role gets a tailored surface. The data stays consistent, the audit trail stays clean.”
Built like Stripe. Trusted like Carta.
Every primitive — plans, grants, vesting, windows, settlements — is a first-class object with APIs, audit trails and policy hooks.
The platform is composed of independent modules that share one ledger. You can adopt Longpass for grant issuance alone, then expand into liquidity and reporting without re-platforming.
Phantom shares, SARs and custom awards with templated agreements and digital acceptance.
Time-based, milestone, performance and hybrid schedules with cliffs and accelerators.
Configure cap, pool, proration, withholding and payout rails for each window.
Cap-table snapshots, expense schedules, FAS 123R / IFRS 2 and board-ready exports.
“If Stripe built Carta for modern phantom equity — that's the bar Longpass is engineered to clear.”
Turn vested value into real cash, on your terms.
Define windows, set caps and proration rules, collect intent, run settlements and pay out — all from one console.
Liquidity used to be the hardest moment in any equity program. Longpass collapses that quarter-long project into a structured, auditable workflow you can run in days.
The window lifecycle
- 1Configure. Cap, pool, eligibility, proration and tax rules.
- 2Announce. Employees see their indicative payout with a clear deadline.
- 3Collect intent. Participants opt in with a single click; consent and disclosures are logged.
- 4Settle. Engine prorates, withholds and generates statements automatically.
- 5Pay out. Funds disburse via bank, payroll or stablecoin rails.
“A liquidity event used to be a quarter-long project. With Longpass it's a workflow.”
Enterprise-grade controls, by default.
Longpass is engineered for fiduciary trust. Every action is logged, every role is scoped, every secret is encrypted.
Security is the foundation, not a feature flag. Every tenant inherits the same controls enterprise customers require — and our enterprise tier extends them further with customer-managed keys and regional data residency.
- SOC 2 controls. Type II controls across access, change management and incident response.
- SSO + RBAC. SAML/OIDC SSO, role-based access, MFA enforcement and session policy.
- Encryption. TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest, CMK on enterprise tier.
- Audit trail. Every grant edit, window action and payout is immutable and exportable.
- Data residency. Region selection for EU, US and APAC tenants.
- DR ready. Continuous backups, point-in-time recovery and documented RTO/RPO.
Shipped quarterly. No vapor.
Our roadmap is sequenced to deliver value at every stage — starting with the cleanest phantom equity stack and expanding into payroll, tax and global settlement.
Plans, grants, vesting engine, liquidity windows and reports — live in production.
