This weekend Carta, the go-to cap table platform for startups, was accused by customer Linear of unethical tactics leveraging sensitive investor data. As a fellow investor, venture capitalist, and Carta user, I dove in to unpack the implications.
The core allegations were:
-
Without Linear's consent, a Carta rep emailed their investor fishing for interest in a supposed “firm buy order” for Linear equity
-
This crossed ethical lines by exploiting cap table data entrusted to Carta
Carta also facilitated secondary sales via CartaX, matching private stock buyers and sellers. This sparked concerns about potential data misuse between business lines.
Restoring trust is now Carta’s top priority. On Monday, Carta's CEO Henry Ward took swift action by shutting down the CartaX secondary trading platform altogether. He stated the move would "eliminate any concern that we are not acting in our founders' best interests."
Carta's quick response is rebuilding trust in the community.

Aidan Gold the GP of Hyperguap Ventures joins The Girls Table podcast again to discuss the current tender offer for SpaceX and if we feel like the company is over or undervalued.
We also dive into Walter Isaacson's new biography on Elon which gives strong insights into the intricacies of what makes SpaceX not just a company, but a movement.
We both invested in SpaceX in 2020 at a $40B valuation. My syndicate invested again a few months ago at a $137B valuation.
But... at this current price we continue to ask ourselves, would we invest in SpaceX at this valuation? Would you?
