The startup ecosystem is a massive engine of financial power and opportunity for founders, employees, and investors. But not everyone has had the opportunity to participate in this ecosystem.
We partnered with #ANGELS in 2018 to report on equity distribution. Every year since, Carta has been committed to creating a new report and to gathering the brightest minds in venture and entrepreneurship around the need to close this gap.
We have an opportunity to expand that ecosystem, together-to bring more ownership opportunities to more people.
With more than 30,000 companies and over $2.5 trillion in assets on the Carta platform, we have a unique window into a massive dataset about startups and venture capital, and an opportunity to increase transparency.
It is only by knowing who makes up this ecosystem-who gets equity compensation? Who is founding companies? Who has the chance to invest in venture funds and startups?-that we know who is left out of these opportunities for ownership, and how we can change that, together.
Check out the entire report here and let us know your equity goals in 2023.
