"Great admin + portal"
What do you like best about Carta?

We use Carta as both our admin and for our holding co (and as a user invested in the Funds). Technology is great - the only admin in the VC space IMHO! Staff and service are great - always knowledgable and efficient.

What do you dislike about Carta?

No downsides unless you don't want to embrace technology and prefer an old-school admin system

Manages our VC funds, all tech, accounting, LP portal. On the equity mgmt side, manages the company, equity, board approvals etc.

"Easy to use equity tracking software"
What do you like best about Carta?

Carta makes the challenging job of tracking equity ownership easy. The support team is always extremely helpful. This product is the leader in the equity tracking category.

What do you dislike about Carta?

Carta is great. Its not great when the data is input incorrectly but Carta does a good job educating users. The data warnings could be better if they differentiated between critical and not critical warnings.

What problems is Carta solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have received a lot of benefits from the software by using the stock options and equity accounting and disclosures. The results give management and our auditor's confidence in the accounting.
