Carta on Steroids
We’ve been called “Carta on steroids” because our capabilities rocket past what Carta can provide.
We’ve spent time with our early partners listening to real problems they’re facing to develop an equity management system that’s centered on accuracy, control, and accessible expertise.
Solving your equity management isn’t as simple as fixing a spreadsheet–that’s why Shoobx offers the right tools paired with expert guidance, so you get it right, the first time.

“I inherited Carta – which was fine. But I didn’t like being treated like a sales commission, rather than a startup leader looking for support and expertise. I talked to my team and explored other platforms. We ultimately chose Shoobx. Now I see Shoobx as my trusted advisor that takes a proactive approach to our company and data.”
