👤 Who Is Carta For?

Carta fits founders, boards and counsel who need one authoritative record of who owns what. The questions worth answering before you commit are only as correct as the documents entered into it and legal and valuation work still sits outside the tool.

🏆 Our Verdict

Carta earns a 4.3/5 Noizz editorial rating. It covers cap table and equity administration, share classes, option grants, vesting and valuations, which is the part worth judging it on: one authoritative cap table instead of spreadsheets, and vesting and exercises tracked per grant. The trade-off to weigh is only as correct as the documents entered into it. It is a fit for founders, boards and counsel who need one authoritative record of who owns what, and a poor fit for anyone whose requirement sits outside that shape.
