San Francisco, CA · founded 2012
Carta is a San Francisco fintech (founded 2012) that runs cap-table and equity management for startups and their employees. It rode a boom to a multi-billion-dollar valuation, then fell hard — under $2B by 2024, roughly 75% off its 2022 peak — amid layoffs, an IPO that keeps not arriving, and a 2024 scandal over misusing customers' cap-table data. Its people history is rough too: a 2020 New York Times report on an alleged 'toxic, boys club' culture and multiple gender-discrimination suits settled between 2023 and 2025. Employees today praise smart colleagues and decent work-life balance, but describe relentless reorgs, 'silent' layoffs, and leadership they don't trust.
