“The employee experience in Carta is really straightforward (and offers educational resources we love), and the reporting functionality for administrators is very thorough.”

People Ops Manager

Pros

“Used it issue share certificates during our funding rounds, to visualise the equity cap table, to complete admin tasks for companies house and HMRC, and to set up our EMI share scheme for employees.”
EJ

Elliot J.

Founder

“Generic support inbox vs. specific customer success contact who gets to know you although I believe this is now being changed.”

Josh L.

Director of Operations

“The standard package needs to provide a higher level of support given the importance and complexities.”

“I have reached out to the "success manager" assigned to our account to refund our money since we cancelled and she just doesn't respond to my emails. ”

“They check in periodically to see if they can upsell me to add-on products that aren't useful to our business.”

Cons

“Perhaps too much information: too many documents providing the same information, particularly in the marketing material.”

“Some of jargon is probably too wordy for a complete novice to understand straight away.”
