In the past, I’ve found working with valuations analysts and accountants very time-consuming. With Carta, I simply checked our cap table data, answered some questions and then waited.

Working with Carta was so quick and reasonable. After we requested a 409A valuation, we were given an estimated delivery of 7 days for the first draft. Such a quick turnaround is almost unheard of.
