ERP for your AUM
At Carta, we believe that private markets should enjoy the same speed, predictability, and connectivity as public markets. That's why we've built our ERP for private capital—connecting data, workflows, and people across the ecosystem—from GPs and LPs to CEOs, CFOs, employees, and advisors. Trusted by over 50,000 companies in more than 160 countries, our scalable software and services empower you to invest, manage, and grow your assets with total confidence.
From cap tables to the world economy
In 2010 we asked ourselves: “What if we put cap tables in the cloud?” 15 years later, Carta is the connected global platform powering the entire universe of private capital. Here's how it all happened.
eShares is founded
Henry Ward and Manu Kumar (founder of K9 Ventures) found eShares to digitize inefficient, frustrating paper stock certificates for startups and investors.
409A valuations launch
Branching out from cap tables for the first time, the team at eShares launches a second product: 409A valuations as a subscription-based service.
eShares becomes Carta
eShares becomes Carta—a name inspired by the Magna Carta, which laid the groundwork for legal rights to private ownership.
Fund Admin launch
Carta launches Fund Administration to address how venture capital investments, and all of their associated workflows, are managed.
Global expansion
Carta acquires Vauban and Capdesk—two London-based equity management platforms—to continue its expanding presence in Europe and the UK.
Tactyc acquisition
Carta acquires Tactyc, a streamlined forecasting and planning solution for venture funds.
MS partnership
Carta announces an exclusive partnership with Morgan Stanley at Work, its preferred public equity management platform for companies planning to IPO.
NYSE partnership
Carta unveils NYSE as its preferred listing venue for private companies and integrates Morgan Stanley Wealth Management's services into its platform.
