Still private: Carta has not filed for an IPO and is not owned by a listed company. No primary round has been announced since the August 2021 Series G; the CEO put Carta at $8.5B after a 2022 employee sale (Axios), and in June 2024 TechCrunch reported a planned secondary sale at $2B (TechCrunch). Both are secondaries, not funding rounds.

Methodology & status definitions

How each row is labelled and calculated.

Closed round

A primary round announced by the company or confirmed in the press, bringing new money to the company.

Reported talks

A raise reported by the press as under discussion and not confirmed as closed. Not charted, not the last-closed valuation; no step-up or multiple.

Tender

A sale of existing shares (employee tender, secondary or buyback). It brings no new primary capital, so it is Status, not the last-closed valuation; no step-up or multiple.

Valuation ÷ run-rate

Post-money valuation ÷ the run-rate the company stated in that announcement (GNF calc.). Where the run-rate is “crossed” or “over” a figure, the multiple is shown as “under X×”. No row qualifies here unless shown, so no multiple is invented.

What is not a separate row

Seed to Series D rounds (2013–2018, partly as eShares, including the $80M Series D in December 2018), acquisitions, and tender offers Carta runs for other companies.
