Some details
Carta, formely known as eShares, is a San Francisco based online platform that allows companies, from seed stage to pre-IPO, to manage equity electronically. By the end of 2015, the company raised $17 million in a series B funding to reach a $77 million valuation to go after small and mid-size businesses outside of the US. At that time, Carta',s development team was small and needed to move very fast on feature implementation.
That focus on speed led to a surge in the number of bugs on the platform, raising needs for more technical talents. Since hiring and training new developers takes a while, eShares looked for external developers to help their team to fix bugs, without affecting development speed.
