Phoenix ESOP and Slice Bring Israel’s Trustee, Cap Table and Global Compliance Onto One Platform
Following the successful launch of its new platform for public companies, Phoenix ESOP is taking another major step forward
Israel's largest Section 102 trustee is moving its entire trustee operation for startups onto Slice, the leading AI-native global equity management and compliance platform.
Not two systems talking to each other. One system
For years, startups have been forced to manage equity across multiple platforms: one for the cap table, another for trustee administration, additional tools for compliance and reporting, and often spreadsheets to bridge the gaps. The result was duplicate work, fragmented data, and unnecessary complexity.
Phoenix ESOP and Slice are changing that reality by creating a single environment that brings together equity management, trustee administration, compliance, reporting, and employee experience.
"We are sending a very clear message to the market today," said Eyal Froind, CEO of Phoenix ESOP. "Phoenix ESOP is not only the leading and most professional trustee in Israel, it is also the most technologically advanced by a wide margin. Whether you're a startup or a public company, we will support you from the very first grant all the way to the exit, with the best service, the best terms, and the best technology available."
The move marks a significant milestone for Israel's startup ecosystem. Thousands of companies, from early-stage startups to high-growth technology leaders, stand to benefit from a unique combination of trustee services, advanced technology, and global compliance capabilities.
According to Maor Levran, Co-Founder and CEO of Slice, “Our customers spent years asking Slice to become an Israeli trustee. We did something better. Israel's largest professional trustee in Israel now runs on Slice."This isn't an integration between a trustee and an equity platform — we're eliminating the integration altogether. Phoenix ESOP and Slice are becoming one system of record for equity: Section 102 trustee administration, the cap table, and global compliance, together, for Israeli companies and their people wherever they are in the world. That's the new standard."
Phoenix ESOP and Slice combine decades of expertise in Section 102 trustee administration with an advanced, AI-native equity platform. Instead of synchronizing information across multiple systems, all stakeholders now operate within a single, unified environment that enhances efficiency, accuracy, and regulatory compliance.
As equity plans become increasingly complex and global, companies are demanding solutions that provide both expert guidance and modern technology. The combination of Phoenix ESOP and Slice is designed to deliver exactly that.
For Israeli technology companies, equity rarely stops at Israel’s borders. As companies expand into the United States, Europe and other markets, they must manage Section 102 alongside a growing set of local tax, reporting and compliance requirements. The combined platform lets companies manage their Israeli trustee obligations and their global equity operations in the same environment.
The unified infrastructure also removes one of the traditional pain points of Section 102 administration: keeping company and trustee records continuously synchronized. Because both now run on the same platform and the same underlying data, reconciliation becomes part of the system itself rather than a separate manual process.
One platform. One source of truth. Full control.
