Carta exists to solve one of the biggest inefficiencies in finance: the fragmentation of private capital markets. While public markets enjoy real-time connectivity, transparency, and speed, private markets still rely on spreadsheets, manual processes, and disconnected systems. This fragmentation creates inefficiencies that cost founders, investors, and employees billions annually. Carta's ERP for private capital changes this by connecting data, workflows, and people across the entire ecosystem - from GPs and LPs to CEOs, CFOs, employees, and advisors - on one unified platform that brings the sophistication of public markets to private capital.
Trusted by over 50,000 companies in more than 160 countries, Carta manages $4.2 trillion+ in total equity value and serves 85% of US unicorns. The platform addresses the complete lifecycle of private capital, from cap table management and equity compensation for startups, to fund administration, portfolio valuations, and investor reporting for venture capital and private equity firms. By digitizing paper-based processes and creating an interconnected ownership graph, Carta is making private markets more transparent, accessible, and efficient - ultimately creating more owners and unlocking liquidity for the modern economy.
