01 — Overview

What Carta does

Fund of Funds managers and VC/PE firms operating across multi-layered capital structures face a chronic problem: data lives in disconnected systems, quarterly financials arrive as static PDFs, and reconciling exposure across dozens of underlying managers is a manual, weeks-long process. Carta positions its platform as the answer, describing itself as an ERP for private capital that connects fund administration, equity management, and portfolio analytics in a single system. For family offices that act as allocators or GPs, this means a single login covering LP reporting, capital call workflows, document management, and look-through portfolio analytics rather than a patchwork of point tools.

The platform's relevance for family office investment and finance teams is clearest in two areas: Fund of Funds operations and equity management for portfolio companies. On the Fund of Funds side, Carta's agentic AI ingests manager statements, including from funds not administered on Carta, normalises data automatically, and updates the Schedule of Investments without manual rekeying. On the equity side, cap table management covers share registers compliant across Singapore, Australia, the US, and DIFC, with IFRS13 and IFRS2 reporting built in.

Specific capabilities include:

  • Look-through visibility to security-level positions across all underlying funds, with side-by-side valuation comparison across GPs
  • Automated flow-through accounting that converts PCAP documents into structured journal entries
  • LP CRM and Deal CRM for fundraising pipeline and relationship management
  • Digital valuation workflows with audit support and ASC 718/IFRS2 reporting
  • Entity-level cap table management with HRIS, payroll, and SSO integrations

Pricing for equity management follows a per-stakeholder model across four tiers, with a free Launch tier for early-stage companies. Fund administration pricing is not publicly disclosed. Carta's primary client base is VC and PE firms, and family offices evaluating the platform should verify fit against their specific reporting and accounting requirements before engaging.

Managing a complex portfolio should not require headcount manually rekeying data into multiple systems that don't talk to each other.
