"It takes money to make money" applies to fundraising, with a fraction of what you've raised used on admin costs.
Carta's fundraising suite cuts these expenses, so you can use the funds raised for your company on your company.
The process of fundraising takes founders away from their businesses.
Carta reduces manual entry and administrative back-and-forth, giving you the bandwidth to focus on building your company.
While we can’t reduce the “no’s,” Carta can give founders the power of know.
Carta has learned from thousands of rounds to give you real-time market data to help today’s founders make the most of their raise.
Behind every fundraise is a win
Once I started working with Carta’s Launch platform, I could easily see how the fundraising could all come together. The tools are all there to make it happen—to show how professional your company can be. And to make it easy for investors to invest. I love that.
Raising capital with SAFEs through Carta was a breeze. I love the granularity offered within the platform, like having the option for each individual SAFE to be invested at a pre- or post-money valuation.
