Carta

Carta provides equity management and ownership infrastructure software for private companies, venture capital firms, and their investors. The platform helps startups issue and track cap tables, manage stock options, handle 409A valuations, and stay compliant with securities regulations. Venture capital and private equity firms use Carta's tools to administer fund operations, manage investor relations, and handle portfolio reporting and accounting. The company serves founders, general counsel, finance teams, and fund administrators who need accurate records of ownership and equity transactions. Carta's software aims to replace manual spreadsheets and legal paperwork with a centralized digital system for tracking equity across a company's lifecycle, from early-stage funding through IPO or acquisition.
