Here at Carta, we’re building the infrastructure for the private markets, supporting over 50,000 companies internationally—all the way from incorporation to IPO.
As Carta expands into new markets, we’re committed to offering localized solutions and on-the-ground support. So, no matter where you’ve laid the foundations of your business and where you’re going next, we can help you succeed.
That’s why we’ve made our free cap table software and proprietary data available to founders in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions.
Giving founders the right tools to start building
The early days of the startup journey are often the most challenging, so Carta makes it as easy as possible to start building your business and access the tools you need to succeed.
Carta Launch is a free platform designed for startups with under 25 stakeholders and less than $1 million (USD) raised. To sign up, all you need is an email address and your certificate of incorporation. Within minutes, you can:
-
Set up a cap table
-
Start issuing equity and SAFEs
-
Kick off the fundraising process
Since 2021, Launch has empowered 25,000 new founders to secure over $24B in funding. By developing a bespoke platform for APAC and MENA, our goal is to help more entrepreneurs in these regions get their businesses off the ground.
Leveraging local data and market insights
Developing software that connects the startup, venture, and private equity ecosystems puts Carta in a unique position to source and analyze a wealth of industry data. And as we continue to expand our international footprint, we’re able to uncover market trends as well as regional nuances.
At the end of April, we published an exclusive Startup Equity & Workforce Report for APAC and the Middle East that leverages data from local companies. By shedding light on how startups across the region are managing employee compensation and team structure, this first-of-its-kind report empowers founders to approach early hiring and equity with clarity and confidence.
Supporting companies at every stage of growth
Whether you’re preparing for your first funding round, expanding internationally, or planning for an exit, having access to best-in-class software and expert support can accelerate your growth journey.
Here are just some of the ways that Carta helps founders and executives build and scale successful companies:
-
A market-leading cap table management platform, with integrated liquidity solutions
-
Fundraising tools, such as round modelling and closing, to propel startups from seed to exit
