Updated Email Design - Coming in One Week

An email from Carta is often the first interaction we have with our users—and we aim to make this first impression a great one. That doesn’t mean we need to be splashy. Rather, it means we want to provide clear information to our users that helps them understand what Carta is and how we can help them manage their assets and equity. For users who’ve been with us a while, we hope these emails continue to reflect the high quality or our software and services.

Carta last updated its emails in November 2017. We’ve changed a lot since then, and we’ve learned a lot, too. In one week, we will release a revamped version of our emails that we hope solve some problems that our users and data helped us identify as well as better reflect our brand today. Today, we’re giving you a preview of what those changes will look like:

We’ve said hello to many employees, companies, investors, board members, law firms, and others around the world the past few years. We think these emails will help us say hello even better going forward.

New and Improved Exercising Flow

We’re excited to announce our enhanced exercising flow coming early next week!

The updated in-product experience aims to help employees feel more confident throughout the process and reduce the finance and HR team’s burden of managing (and answering questions about) option exercises.

To begin, your company must have online transactions turned on in Carta. Once they do, all you need is:

  • A US bank account
  • ISO, NSO, or ISO/NSO split grants that are vested

As part of the update, we’ve added an Exercise button directly on the Holdings page, under the new vesting chart. Click on the button to begin.

Once you’re ready, Carta will guide you through a step-by-step process that includes:

  • The ability to select which grant and how many shares to exercise
  • Estimated tax breakdowns to help you understand your obligations at the time of exercise and the end of the fiscal year
  • In-flow profile and payment management to streamline the exercising experience without friction
  • Autofilled 83(b) election form for employees who early exercise
  • A clear timeline of next steps you should look out for before the shares are in your portfolio

New custom equity plan report

Now Legal and Company administrators can export a new customizable equity plan. There are 40+ columns to choose from, and you also have the ability to select multiple plans to export. The output file is a spreadsheet with each plan being its own tab.

The Custom Equity Plan report is the last one on the Equity Plan Analysis section, inside the Reports item, under the Capitalization dropdown.
