As an angel investor, investments are easiest to get done on Carta. Takes just a few minutes to sign, wire and receive my certificates. The simplicity and clarity of the process gives me (and I assume other investors) a lot of comfort

Being a founder is incredibly tough on all fronts, excited to see something like to lessen the burden of the administrative stuff!

@naveed_nadjmabadi It's the hardest thing to do. And dealing with all the backend stuff is not what you're signing up for. Hopefully we can relive some of that burden!!

Congrats, team! I have plenty of founder friends who are fundraising on SAFEs. Can you describe what you mean by "automated SAFEs?"

@joshua_weisman Once you enter in a little bit of information, we will create a ready made SAFE for you to then send to your investors. But, best of all, you'll be electronically sending them the docs with Carta as well. You can go from a meeting to a funded SAFE within just a few minutes.

As an active early stage investor, I really appreciate it once a company starts using Carta or something similar. Great that this new Carta platform will help startups add this tool sooner
