Carta provides a fintech platform that streamlines fundraising for startups, venture capitalists, and private equity firms, while also managing equity and portfolio data. The platform combines asset management, back-office automation, valuations, fund formation, and audit and tax support into one system. It uses machine-learning driven data and real-time market intelligence to support compensation decisions and makes equity sales for employees and stakeholders easier. Revenue comes from charging clients for access to its tools and services, with pricing varying by client size and service level; the goal is to make fundraising faster, easier, and more cost-effective by offering an integrated suite of fundraising workflow, equity management, and data insights.

↓ -11%Carta Law, the AI-native law firm for private capital, has appointed four senior leaders across its US and European operations. Noah Levine joins as Legal Director for North American Compliance, whilst Karin Porstendörfer becomes Compliance Director and Head of Inbound KYC in Luxembourg. The firm has also promoted Chrystel Marincich to Managing Director for Contracts Americas and Kenneth Howe to Managing Director for Contracts Europe and APAC. Both joined Carta Law two and a half years ago from private practice. The appointments support Carta Law's client base of over 200 asset managers, including 30% of the world's largest funds. The firm launched in May 2026 following Carta's acquisition of Avantia.
Carta has made its suite of Plugins for Claude broadly available, with over 1,500 companies and firms already using them since the initial launch in April 2026. The plugins integrate fund administration, cap table management, and dealflow analytics directly into existing workflows. The platform includes three main plugins. The Investors Plugin enables fund CFOs to pull live cash data and generate reports. The CRM Plugin connects relationship management to economic data for investor outreach. The Cap Table Plugin allows equity administrators to access ownership records and generate reports. Delta-v Capital, managing $1.6 billion across 28 funds, reduced compliance work from weeks to near-instant workflows. Tribe Capital Management, overseeing $2 billion in assets under management, cut reconciliation time from one week to one day across 100 SPVs. The plugins operate within Carta's existing permission structure and are available through Claude's plugin directory to firms with active Carta accounts.

Carta has opened a Hong Kong office, establishing a dual-hub network alongside its Singapore headquarters to serve Asia's private markets ecosystem. The expansion targets Hong Kong's $240 billion private markets sector, creating an infrastructure corridor across the region's key capital centres. The Hong Kong office launches with teams covering sales, marketing, customer experience and fund administration, offering services in Cantonese, Mandarin and English. Whilst Singapore anchors Carta's Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa operations, the Hong Kong hub provides localised expertise across the Greater Bay Area. The move follows Hong Kong's return to top IPO activity, creating demand for modern private capital infrastructure. Carta now operates 15 offices globally, serving over 50,000 companies and supporting 9,000 funds managing $203 billion in assets.
