It’s 2023, but managing a fund can sometimes make you feel like you’re stuck in 1999. That’s why we launched Carta Carry: the first mobile app for running a venture fund. With the Carta Carry app, you can now initiate fund administration tasks on the go—and track their progress to completion.

Here are some of the app’s top features:

Task tracker

With the Carta Carry task tracker, you can now see real-time status updates on capital calls, wires, expenses, management fees, and financials. You’ll never have to stress about not knowing the status of a wire or need to email your fund administrator for an update on an urgent capital call.

How it works

The task tracker works just like delivery confirmation for an important package: It allows you to monitor step-by-step progress for all tasks underway.

After navigating to your requests tab, you’ll be able to see details for each task, including the status of the task and who’s working to move it forward.

Push notifications

A single capital call can generate several email chains—so it’s easy to lose track of what’s going on. Carta Carry delivers status updates by push notification, so you’ll always know when it’s your turn to act.

How it works

By opting in to push notifications, you’ll be notified any time your fund administrator makes progress on a task, including when they receive the task, when they make progress, when they need you to take action, and when they complete the task.

Notifications will help you stay-up-to-date with a variety of tasks, including:

Single-thread communication

With Carta Carry’s single thread feature, everything you need to know about a task gets stored in a single easy-to-read interface.

How it works

If you have a question about a capital call, investment wire, or financial statement, all you have to do is ping the thread for that task. When your fund administrator responds, you’ll see a new notification—no more digging through your inbox or sorting through multiple email threads.

More time-saving features

Quick actions menu

The first thing you’ll see when you open Carta Carry is a quick-actions menu designed for efficiency: With just a few taps, you can initiate a capital call, pay an expense, or start a wire transfer to a portfolio company.

Structured workflow for capital calls

On Carta Carry, a structured workflow lets you enter your capital call details just one time, in one place. After submitting, you won’t have to follow up with additional details—or risk a costly typo.

How it works

From the home screen menu, just tap “Request capital call”—the app will prompt you for the rest of the details and give you a chance to review them before you hit submit.

Make approvals with a tap

With Carta Carry, you can make approvals on the go, whether you’re commuting to the office, rushing to the airport, or heading to a meeting.

How it works

Whenever a task is ready for review, you’ll get a push notification. Just tap the notification, review the details, and approve for release.

It’s that easy.
