Carta, a company that provides software to help startups manage their equity, has raised $8 million in Series A funding, led by Fuel Capital.
This is a big win for Carta, which has been working hard to grow its business. The new funding will help Carta expand its team and continue to build out its product.
Fuel Capital is a great fit for Carta, as it is a firm that specializes in investing in early-stage companies. With this new round of funding, Carta is well-positioned to continue its momentum and build a valuable business.
Since it's launch in 2012, San Francisco-based startup Carta has raised a total of $10.5 million in funding from a variety of sources. This includes a $7.5 million Series A round led by Formation 8, with participation from angel investors such as Joe Lonsdale, Brian Singerman, and Gil Penchina.
This brings Carta's total funding to date to $10.5 million, which will be used to continue building out the company's equity management platform. This platform is used by startups and venture capitalists to manage their equity portfolios and track the value of their investments.
Carta's platform is particularly valuable for startups because it allows them to see how their equity dilutes over time as they raise additional rounds of funding. This information can help them make better decisions about when to raise money and how much equity to give up in each round.
So far, Carta has been very successful in helping startups manage their equity. In fact, since 2012, the company has helped manage over $1 billion in equity for its clients. This success is likely to continue as Carta continues to raise additional funding and build out its platform.

Carta's platform allows companies to keep track of employee equity, vesting schedules, and dilution. Carta also provide analytics on the data so that companies can make informed decisions about their equity.
