Carta and NewView Capital Partner to Expand Secondary Liquidity Options for Startup Employees
Carta and NewView Capital have announced a strategic partnership aimed at simplifying the tender offer process for private startups. By combining NewView’s expertise in secondary deal structuring with Carta's equity management platform, the collaboration seeks to help companies provide employees with early liquidity through predetermined share sales to approved investors. The initiative addresses the growing trend of companies staying private longer—often 12 to 15 years—which can lead to talent drain as employees seek liquidity unavailable in pre-IPO stages. While tender offers for Series C and later-stage startups have tripled over the last three years, adoption remains relatively low among the broader startup ecosystem.
