Carta now supports adding multiple stakeholders in bulk.

Previously, adding new stakeholders to Carta was done on an individual basis within the Stakeholder ledger -- Manage Stakeholders > Add stakeholder. While this works perfectly well for a single stakeholder, it becomes time consuming for multiple stakeholders. For this reason, we’ve released a new Bulk Add Stakeholders feature. Here’s how to use it --

1. Go to the Stakeholder ledger - Manage Stakeholders > Bulk Add Stakeholders. You will see something that looks like this -

1. Use the “Download spreadsheet” button to download a blank xlsx file where you can input all your new stakeholder information
2. Fill in the xslx spreadsheet with your new stakeholder data. These will typically consist of recent employees who have joined your company
3. Go back to the Carta app to upload the spreadsheet containing the changes
4. Click the “Submit updates” button, and if there are no errors found with the data, you’re done! If there are errors, you will see a screen similar to what’s shown below. Click the “Download errors spreadsheet” button to download an annotated spreadsheet that calls out the errors.

1. Correct the errors in the resulting spreadsheet, re-upload the updated sheet, and submit the changes again. That should be it! The new stakeholders contained in your file will now be added as new stakeholders in Carta.
