Carta is hosting its annual Carta Equity Summit—a free, virtual event for the brightest minds in the venture ecosystem committed to creating more access to equity ownership. At the Summit, Carta will release its annual report detailing equity ownership by race, gender, geography, and ethnicity. The Carta Equity Summit is an opportunity to evaluate progress, understand challenges, and define solutions to the equity gap. But more than that, it’s a chance to showcase the force of a future where that gap doesn’t exist—featuring the founders, investors, operators, and leaders who should be the norm, not the exception.

In 2018, the #ANGELS hypothesized that the equity gap was worse than the salary gap. Carta has the data to help track and analyze what they called #TheGapTable. Together, we created the first ever report on equity distribution by gender and have continued to create it every year since. Equity is the largest lever for wealth creation in Silicon Valley and beyond; we believe it should be distributed equitably.
