## About Carta

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Carta provides an intelligent platform that connects data, workflows, and people to power private capital operations, bringing together cutting-edge AI and expert human service.

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Private capital markets, equity management, fund administration, and valuation services.
- **Target customers**: B2B – startups, private companies, venture capital firms, private equity funds, investors, and their stakeholders.
- **Mission or purpose**: To make private markets as fast, automated, and connected as public markets, and to “create more owners” by expanding access to equity and ownership.

## Products & Services
- **Carta Platform (Equity Management)**: SaaS for cap table management, equity issuance, employee stock plan administration, and stakeholder communication.
- **Carta Fund Administration**: Back-office services for venture capital and private equity funds, including portfolio management, reporting, and compliance.

- **Carta Insights (via Tactyc acquisition)**: Strategic modeling, forecasting, and scenario planning tools for fund managers.
- **Carta Liquidity (Secondary Market)**: Facilitation of secondary transactions for private company shares.
- **Agentic Intelligence**: AI-powered monitoring, proactive orchestration, and process automation embedded across the platform.

## Market Standing

  - Recent acquisitions: Vauban, Capdesk (UK equity management), Tactyc (forecasting)
  - Partnerships: NYSE (preferred listing venue), Morgan Stanley at Work (public equity management)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Network effects**: The largest concentration of private company cap tables, fund data, and liquidity events creates a powerful data moat.
- **End-to-end platform**: Covers equity management, fund administration, valuations, and secondary trading – reducing the need for multiple vendors.

## Strategic Focus

- **AI and automation**: Embedding context-aware agentic intelligence to boost productivity and accuracy for all users.
- **Partnerships and liquidity**: Deepening ties with investment banks (Morgan Stanley, NYSE) to create seamless paths from private to public markets.
- **Product innovation**: Building connectivity between investment firms, companies, and investors to streamline fundraising, ownership, and exits.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Carta emphasizes ownership, transparency, and problem-solving. Operating principles include “We act as owners,” “We play in the open,” and “We solve problems.” The company fosters an inclusive, unconventional builder mindset.
