Case Study: Vested streamlines employee stock option funding with Carta APIs

How Vested uses Carta APIs to streamline employee stock option funding

Vested, a New York startup founded in 2019, helps employees get the money they need to exercise stock options without out-of-pocket costs. Because over 85% of its customers have equity holdings on Carta, Vested needed a faster way to collect equity grant data and make the application process less tedious and error-prone.

Using Carta’s Developer API and Portfolio API, Vested let customers link their Carta grants in seconds and automatically pull in equity details for funding estimates. The change cut the time spent corresponding with the average applicant by 38% and gave Vested’s deal team more accurate data and faster funding proposals.
