At Carta, we’re building an ownership network that changes how assets are acquired, valued, and transacted. To propel Carta forward, we just raised our Series E.
We first shared our pitch deck in 2015, when we raised our Series A (we were then known as eShares). The deck we’ve shared here is our Series D deck, which evolved from our Series B and C decks. We hope you’ll check it out, and see how our story, business, and brand have evolved.
To achieve our goal of creating more owners, while increasing transparency and liquidity between them, we’ve raised additional capital.

With this new capital, our investors now value Carta at $800 million.
