Carta Ventures

Carta Ventures is an initiative from the equity management company Carta. It looks for founding teams to build companies around problems Carta has spotted but has no capacity to solve itself.

What Carta Ventures offers

• Seed leadership: Carta says it will lead or co-lead the first funding round for teams it chooses.
• Product access: chosen teams can use Carta's public APIs and infrastructure.
• Office space and people: shared space in Carta's office and access to its executives and staff.
• Founder coaching: help from the sponsor in learning to be a chief executive.

Who it serves

Founding teams willing to build one of three ideas. These are a real-time cash and equity compensation survey, quantitative analytic tools for venture investors, and a third idea set out on the page. Carta suggests it can also help them sell to its existing customers.
