Carta

Carta is building the global ownership management platform, changing how companies, investors, law firms, and employees manage equity.

Our mission is simple: to create more owners. We live in a world where everything is owned by a person—or more commonly, a group of people. We are a platform of software and services that helps people manage equity, build businesses, and invest in the companies of tomorrow.

We offer end-to-end fund and equity management solutions:

• Our fund management platform unifies portfolio management, fund administration, and LP communications.
• Our equity management platform provides tools for every stage—from building a cap table to preparing for an IPO.

Founded in 2012 by Henry Ward and Manu Kumar, the first digital stock certificate was issued on eShares (later Carta) in April 2013.
