Transcript

This is data collection, part of portfolio analytics in Carta's ERP for private capital. Collecting financials and KPIs from your portfolio means chasing email threads and spreadsheets every quarter, one company at a time. Carta handles it differently. The collection dashboard gives you a live read on where every portfolio company stands.

No more digging through the inbox needed. Add internal notes on any portco, and they persist across every collection period. Manage firm side and company contacts so the right people are always in the loop and nothing falls through a CC chain. When configuring what to collect, you work with maximum flexibility, standard financial statements, over a hundred standard KPIs, and unlimited custom metrics, including qualitative questions in text, yes, no, or date format.

Request additional data, like cap table and board deck. For international portfolio companies, you can set reporting currency as well. Setting up the send is fast. Pick your cadence, recurring or onetime.

Select recipients, company contacts, your firm team, or both. Configure reminders, and customize the email copy before it goes out. Portfolio companies get a secure link to submit required data and upload files directly. Once you or a Portco uploads financial files, Carta's AI extracts the data and runs checksums to surface discrepancies before they reach your LP report.

Click any aggregated value, and the traceback shows exactly which line items fed it so your team can validate without manual cross referencing. When you're done, you can trust the numbers and save them. Confirm data lands on the financials and KPI tab for each investment, backed by an audit log of what came in, when, and who made changes, a clean, defensible record for LP queries and regulatory review. It's also saved in Data Warehouse for portfolio analytics and valuations needs.

Only Carta ERP has connected data that flows automatically from data collection into portfolio valuations and into your fund financials, so you spend your time on decisions, not data entry.
