Will you help me migrate my data across for free?

Cake will complete your onboarding for you within 3 days. Onboarding to Cake is free as part of your Cake subscription.

How long will it take to migrate data from Carta to Cake?

Most onboardings are fully completed within 3 days. Cake by default, will onboard your historical cap table, ensuring no loss of data or transaction history. We prioritize Carta-to-Cake migrations to ensure a smooth experience for you.

Do I need a transfer agent to offboard from Carta?

As a private company, you generally do not require a transfer agent unless you are about to IPO or you meet any of the following criteria:

1. Assets exceeding $10 million
2. 2,000 or more shareholders
3. 500 or more shareholders who are not accredited investors

If you do meet any of those criteria, or if you wanted to set up a transfer agent regardless, we can introduce to you our transfer agent partner who can utilise the Cake platform as your source of truth.

No. Your shareholders or option holders do not need to re-sign any agreements and as part of the onboarding process to Cake, digital share certificates are cancelled within Carta and recreated within Cake.

What is the migration experience from the stakeholder perspective?

The experience is smooth and seamless. The final stage of onboarding involves you sending invitations and communications to your current investors and employees explaining the switch from Carta to Cake and inviting them to login to their new MyCake portal to view their holdings, documents and communications.

Are there any hidden fees or extra costs?
