Now you can issue equity through Carta—without leaving Claude. Describe who's getting what in plain language and Claude builds a fully pre-filled draft, pulling vesting, exercise price, and board approval straight from your company's own data.

What it is

Carta's Cap Table Plugin can turn a plain-language prompt, such as “Issue 1,000 ISOs to Jane Smith,” into a complete draft grant or certificate. It pre-fills vesting, exercise price, and board approval from your company’s own data, creating the stakeholder record if one doesn’t exist yet.

Why it matters

Company admins issuing equity to new hires or investors can skip the manual data entry that usually comes with drafting a grant. The skill handles batch issuance and name-filtered stakeholder lookups for large grants, and it can read input directly from an attached screenshot, board consent, or spreadsheet, so admins don’t have to retype terms that are already documented elsewhere.

How it works

Every option grant type is supported today, including EMI, Unapproved, and international grants.
