If you ask a GP how an investment is performing right now, on May 8, they likely won\u2019t have an answer until July. First the quarter has to wrap, then junior accountants have to manually enter data, and then (finally) GPs get updated deal IRR. Manual entry isn\u2019t exactly fast, or accurate.<br><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Carta fixes this. Live cap table data and up-to-date company valuations are already on Carta. We can surface this data to you (VCs), so you can share it with your LPs on Carta. Less manual data entry, and no more waiting until a month after the quarter ends.<br><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For more on what\u2019s wrong with fund admin, check out the post from Henry Ward, our CEO.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>The future of fund administration<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Whether you\u2019re new to venture capital or you\u2019ve led a fund for years, you just want your back office to work. With Carta, you can see the data you need any time, with less back and forth. We offer an all-in-one platform to track your portfolio and manage your fund, and a great team too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image no-shadow\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www-staging.carta.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/05\/fund-admin-quote.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12742\" width=\"1026\" height=\"212\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3>Real-time deal IRR<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>See your fund metrics\u2014like your <a href=\"https:\/\/www-staging.carta.com\/sg\/blog\/internal-rate-return-irr-calculator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"internal rate of return (opens in a new tab)\">internal rate of return<\/a>\u2014live on your dashboard.
