Carta

Fostering long term relationships with VCs so we can demystify, digitise and simplify equity management for companies in their portfolio. We aim to educate and support those across the startup ecosystem on all things equity.

VC Partnerships • Equity Compensation Lead

Beyond the capital, equity crowdfunding allows businesses to take ownership of building a strong community. By converting customers into brand ambassadors, each one has a new sense of loyalty to the company they've chosen to invest in, one they connect with, one they engage with and really want to see succeed.  

Building an expansive network of genuine champions of a brand has significant implications for seed, early and growth stage businesses. We're experts in storytelling, brand positioning and communicating narratives to support businesses in attracting investment from our pool of 1.3 million retail investors who are keen to align with promising start ups. 

Whilst we simplify the entire process of crowdfunding, we believe the real power comes from the community we work with you to build. Being a part of businesses growth journey fills me with excitement each morning, so I hope you're excited at the prospect of this too. 

If you want to learn more and make a positive impact on the world through your companies vision, get in touch.

bloom leads

Founder of bloom leads, a lead generation agency for scaling B2B companies looking to optimise systems which boost sales and simplify the process of booking warm, qualified meetings.

Launch a path towards predictable revenue through personalised and optimised cold email outreach. We manage the front of end of the sales cycle by booking meetings to drive sales and expand into new markets.

Why should you outsource your SDR team?

The expense of hiring, training and managing a dedicated SDR team is huge. Beyond the cost implications, it eats up precious time where you need to be focussed on your current clients and running the business. 

Outsourcing provides you all the benefits of having an internal team, although you only pay when we succeed. We have the processes and systems in place to successfully get you results sooner than if you were going to start hiring for an SDR role, plus we charge on a Pay-Per-Call basis.

Christmas Department Manager

My mission is to educate and support the venture ecosystem through data driven equity management.  

Working in start-ups is a rollercoaster at the best of times, but one fact drives team cohesion above all - we're aligned through shared ownership. 

A company full of owners is one which solves problems together, grows together, and reaps the rewards of all that hard work together. Given this, what's the point in having an options plan if no one knows what it means?

At Carta, we handle everything equity and options related; providing founders, investors and employees with visibility of their ownership on the cap table. I believe every stakeholder in a private company should understand exactly how their ownership may impact their financial wellbeing. At the end of the day, they've injected capital or energy into bringing this business to life, they should know where their investment stands!

My role's partnering with VCs, being a sounding board around all things equity, supporting their team through cap table training, data insights & simplified reporting through the power of Capdesk.

I'm an energetic, curious individual who's passionate about solving complex problems, supporting others and getting shit done. Accountability, ownership and honesty are pivotal to the way I work.

When not supporting businesses, you'll find me walking in Kew Gardens, going to a ridiculous amount of concerts, climbing mountains, skiing down them and actively practising being a better bloke.
