Introducing Carta’s new priced round workflow: Deal Closings

What’s new

The new fundraising feature helps founders, working collaboratively with their law firm and investors, close a priced round end to end on Carta. It provides a workflow and centralized hub that facilitates administrative tasks related to closing a deal.

Founders and their law firm will have a dashboard that provides 

  • real-time fundraising benchmarks
  • a snapshot of the status of their round letting them run closings-related tasks such as generating signature paperwork, building pro formas and managing the round
  • ability to track signature status, send reminders and view the wire status

Investors will also get their own convenient dashboard to view the deal timeline, sign paperwork, view deal docs and wire instructions.

And after you complete a priced round, we automatically update your startup’s cap table to reflect the new investment, and issue certificates to investors.

Why this matters

Today running a priced round is complex and incredibly manual. A deal is closed mostly offline using a mix of spreadsheets, emails, phone calls, and signature applications to complete the work. There are also a number of moving parts such as signature page drafting, collecting signature blocks, sending out documents and reminders to investors, collecting signature pages from convertibles, tracking, and updating status, confirming wires etc.  

It requires a great deal of manual work by the law firm, and lacks transparency for founders and investors. Not to mention the high cost of priced rounds for all parties involved.

How can I access it

You can access the Deal Closings feature by navigating to the “Raise funds” navigation menu item if you’re on Carta’s free plan. Or navigate to “Fundraise”-> “Priced rounds” navigation item if you’re a paid Carta customer. Read more on how to use this feature here
