Series G and May 2020 amounts are supported by transaction counsel; D by Carta and B by counsel. Founder Henry Ward confirms a $7M Series A in November 2014, while lead investor USV dates it to October 2014; only Q4 is used, not January 2015 or a guessed exact close day. Carta announces $300M Series E financing, but USV separately describes selling from its 2014 Fund in that round without an amount or whether it is included in or additional to the $300M. The announced amount is displayed but withheld from verified primary totals until allocation is sourced; the sale is not additional company proceeds. May 2020, D and B use publication dates, not verified close days. The imported $200M Series F conflicts with counsel's $180M; counsel does not name a series. C has conflicting original reported amounts and no exact proceeds allocation; seed reporting corrects the rounded database amount without authenticating a closing day or lead. This public-source subset is not Carta's complete legal financing register or cap table.

May 2020 financing (database Series F)

Lightspeed Venture Partners (lead)

Counsel's May 10 publication records a $180M financing led by Lightspeed, but does not identify a series, exact closing day or other investors. The Series F label comes only from the imported database.

Series E

Andreessen Horowitz (lead) · Lightspeed Venture Partners · Goldman Sachs Principal Strategic Investments · Tiger Global Management · Thrive Capital · Tribe Capital · Menlo Ventures · Meritech Capital Partners

Carta announces $300M financing at a $1.7B post-money valuation. In https://www.usv.com/writing/carta-act-iii USV says it is selling shares from its 2014 Fund in this round. The inspected originals do not establish whether the share sale is included in or additional to the $300M; no primary/secondary amount allocation is inferred. The stated financing size and buyers are retained, but no exact issuer-proceeds total is counted until that distinction is sourced. May 6 is the publication anchor, not a verified settlement day.

USV secondary sale alongside Series E

Investors undisclosed

Included in Series E; not added again to the confirmed-raised sum.

USV discloses selling Carta shares from its 2014 Fund alongside this financing. The fund's exact legal vehicle, amount, buyers, share class and legally effective settlement day are not named. May 6 is USV's publication date. This component is recorded within the same event and is never additional company capital; the seller is not placed in the investor-participation lists.

Series C

Menlo Ventures (lead) · Social Capital (lead)

Original reporting gives $42M, while the original Axios account gives $41M (https://www.axios.com/2017/12/15/eshares-raises-41-million-to-play-both-sides-of-tech-ipos-1513306136); neither figure is counted as exact proceeds pending reconciliation. This is an amount disagreement, not a second Series C. October 11 is a publication observation, not settlement. Separately cited Menlo and Social Capital sources corroborate participation, not an exact final check or share class. Pooled prior investors and board representatives are not assigned as subscribers to this round.

Series A

Union Square Ventures (lead) · Spark Capital

In his July 28, 2015 account Henry Ward says the $7M Series A closed in November 2014. USV's retrospective https://www.usv.com/writing/carta-act-iii dates its lead to October 2014. Both fall in Q4: October 1 is only a quarter-level sorting anchor, not a verified funding day or month. USV's original January 4, 2015 post https://www.usv.com/writing/eshares confirms leading with Spark Capital and unnamed seed investors; January 4 is a later publication, not this financing's date. The originals do not name those seed investors or a Series A valuation, so K9 participation and an exact price are not asserted.

Seed

Draper VC · Expansion VC · K9 Ventures · Elefund · Subtraction Capital · Scott Banister · XG Ventures · Kima Ventures · +2 more

The original August 13 report gives raised capital by that publication, not an authenticated single legal close. A syndicated Henry Ward interview describes seed/angel fundraising in summer 2013 (https://startupfundraising.com/library/articles/henry-ward); January 1 is only a year-only sorting anchor. The early amount may aggregate closings, not establish their individual checks or dates. No seed lead, fund vehicle, security terms or valuation is established; the source's Draper VC label is preserved without guessing a legal Draper entity.
