“Coming from the world of spreadsheets, I was unprepared for the amount of legal overhead required to actually administer equity compensation to our employees and unfortunately, made a few costly mistakes in the early days.

Rob Eanes, Co-founder, Pingboard
- Late Stage

Dennis Yang, CEO, Udemy
- Late Stage
“We were fielding 10 employee questions per week on equity. Now the Carta support team handles almost all of them. It’s everything from the design of the product to the language they use – Carta is the equity platform for this generation, and every other software out there feels like it was built in ’98.”
Alexandra Sepulveda, General Counsel, Udemy
- Early Stage
“We used [Carta] to get board approval for the financing round. After having used it once, our law firm and board members are fully bought in. It feels like the way board approvals should have worked all along. It just makes sense to have everything on platform.”
Bill Boebal, CEO, Pingboard
- Venture Capital
“The people who work at Carta are really what set it apart. Yes, they have the best software. Yes, their software is the most user friendly we have seen. Yes, they have scale and more than half of our 70+ portfolio companies were already using them. But, it’s really the quality of the people there that has made everything from our onboarding to daily usage feel 10x easier than we could have ever expected.”
Oscar Adelman, Associate, Sinai Ventures
