Using Carta or Similar Platforms for Cap Table and Equity Management at Scale
For growth-stage founders, corporate finance and treasury professionals, and strategy and BD teams who have outgrown the spreadsheet cap table. Learn to recognise the breaking point, understand what equity management platforms like Carta, Qapita, EquityList and Trica Equity actually do, and pick one with a structured scorecard. Migrate cleanly by reconciling your spreadsheet against the statutory registers, and set up equity, CCPS, CCDs, warrants and iSAFEs correctly. Run ESOPs at scale: grants under Section 62(1)(b), vesting and leaver treatment, exercise and perquisite tax withholding, and buyback programs. Model priced rounds, conversions and exit waterfalls on the platform, then keep everything in sync with MCA filings, FEMA reporting, demat requirements and Ind AS 102. Close with pre-IPO clean-up under SEBI SBEB rules and a full case study of equity operations from Series A to pre-IPO.
