Fantastic idea - would have been really useful for me in hindsight πŸ˜…! I'm sure this will help many founders to come! Congratualtions on the launch πŸš€
Nathan Pitzer
@bertie πŸš€ We certainly think so πŸš€

Carta is a great equity platform - I'm lucky that the startups ive worked with in the past use them, plus they really sell the value of equity and email notify staff of vesting.

Signed up today. Didn’t realise it just went live. Extremely smooth experience. For Brex customers, you get 10K points for signing up through them.

@arihant That's huge!!
Joshua Weisman
Congrats, team! I have plenty of founder friends who are fundraising on SAFEs. Can you describe what you mean by "automated SAFEs?"
Nathan Pitzer
@joshua_weisman Once you enter in a little bit of information, we will create a ready made SAFE for you to then send to your investors. But, best of all, you'll be electronically sending them the docs with Carta as well. You can go from a meeting to a funded SAFE within just a few minutes.

As an angel investor, investments are easiest to get done on Carta. Takes just a few minutes to sign, wire and receive my certificates. The simplicity and clarity of the process gives me (and I assume other investors) a lot of comfort
Dan Hightower
@janesh_rahlan This is great! Would love to chat more about it to learn what else we can do to make it easy/high-value for angel investors!
Patrick McKenna
As an active early stage investor, I really appreciate it once a company starts using Carta or something similar. Great that this new Carta platform will help startups add this tool sooner
Nathan Pitzer
@patrick_mckenna Glad you find value out of this from the investor side!!
Naveed Nadjmabadi
Being a founder is incredibly tough on all fronts, excited to see something like to lessen the burden of the administrative stuff!
Nathan Pitzer
@naveed_nadjmabadi It's the hardest thing to do. And dealing with all the backend stuff is not what you're signing up for. Hopefully we can relive some of that burden!!
Jeff Erickson
Such an awesome tool for early-stage startups. Every founder should be using the free Carta Launch platform by now!
