The Spring Summit: A Carta Event
This event took place in April 2025 to inspire a new season of growth for UK private capital.
The Spring Summit was an unmissable afternoon filled with exclusive insights, lively panels, and valuable networking opportunities.
We unveiled fresh startup and fund data and explored how recent changes in UK financial policy are shaping the sector.
Carta brought together founders and investors to connect, learn, and grow.
