We cater to a variety of needs, from facilitating exit events and issuing option grants to providing audit-defensible financial statements.
We support each business unit within Carta. Projects we work on range from new customer user experiences, data platforms and 3rd party integrations. We also build tools for financial analysts to deliver valuations at scale using Carta’s data sets and machine learning platforms.
