What's new?

We've enhanced Carta Closings to support sophisticated investors and streamline the fundraising process with multi-party collaboration. This major update transforms Closings from a single-user experience into a collaborative platform where multiple LP contacts can access and complete the subscription process simultaneously.

With Multi-party, GPs can share access to multiple contacts, including themselves, and LPs can invite multiple contacts (e.g. wealth advisors, lawyers, colleagues, additional signatories) to help complete their subscription documents - all while maintaining complete visibility and control.

Why is this important?

For sophisticated investors, completing subscription documents often requires input from multiple parties—financial advisors, legal counsel, authorized signatories, and others. Previously, this coordination happened offline through countless emails and document sharing, creating friction and delays.

While individual investors can easily complete forms themselves, larger institutional investors and more sophisticated LPs typically require multiple collaborators to review, complete, and sign subscription documents.

Key benefits:

For General Partners:

• White-glove service: Pre-fill your LP’s subdocs while also being able to view and edit in-progress investor questionnaires to proactively assist your LPs through the subscription process
• Enhanced investor management: Add multiple contacts per investor and proactively designate signatories when sending invitations
• Broader visibility: Maintain a comprehensive view of all contacts associated with each LP in an updated investor ledger
• Multi-party data room access: All LP contacts can now access your Closings data room when invited

For Limited Partners:

• Flexible collaboration: Add team members, wealth advisors, joint subscribers or other stakeholders to help complete the sections of the questionnaire on your behalf
• Transparent access & permissions: Maintain visibility into who has access to the questionnaire and define account contact permissions for managing the investment in Carta.

How does it work?

1️⃣ GP Access to Assist

GPs can now add themselves as an additional contact to prefill LP information and also edit investor questionnaires while they're in progress, allowing them to provide timely assistance to LPs navigating the subscription process. LPs are notified that the GP has this visibility, ensuring transparency throughout.

2️⃣ Adding Multiple Collaborators

For GPs: When adding a prospective investor, you can now include multiple contacts with their names, email addresses, and signatory roles. You can edit this list before sending invitations and view all contacts in an enhanced investor ledger.

For LPs: From the Closings welcome page, you can add or remove contacts, while specifying who has signing authority. New collaborators will receive email invitations to access the subscription.

3️⃣ Enhanced Data Room Access

Multiple stakeholders from a single LP entity can now access the Closings data room, ensuring everyone involved can securely access your fund’s information.
