Carta Cap Table

The Carta Launch Cap Table is a free equity management software platform administered by Carta that enables early-stage companies to build and maintain their capitalization records. The platform provides automated tracking for ownership structures, SAFE financing, and stock option grants for startups with less than $1 million in historical fundraising and 25 or fewer stakeholders. Users receive tools for issuing electronic securities, modeling fundraising scenarios, and managing individual employee logins for share acceptance and vesting tracking. Formerly known as eShares, Carta remains the dominant cap table provider for venture-backed startups in the United States, facilitating over $332 billion in total raised funds across its broader ecosystem. This software is intended for early-stage startup founders who need to organize equity data, issue shares to initial employees, and track ownership for future venture fundraising and compliance.
