Carta alternatives: InvestPrep by FIN Group
Carta is the default cap-table system for startups and many venture funds. InvestPrep is the alternative considered by GPs whose need is fund operations, investor onboarding, and regulatory reporting rather than portfolio-company equity management.

Where InvestPrep differs
Adviser-side, not issuer-side
InvestPrep is built for the manager's obligations: subscription documents, investor eligibility, KYC/AML, capital events, and LP reporting.
Regulatory program included
Form PF, Form D, ERA and SEC registration support, and AML independent testing come from the same team through FIN Group.
Eligibility and qualification analysis
Investor qualification workflows reflect accredited investor, qualified client, and qualified purchaser distinctions — with a published guide explaining the thresholds.
Which one should you pick?
Choose FIN InvestPrep when…
Your priority is the manager's own operating and regulatory obligations — onboarding, capital events, filings, and the compliance program behind them.
Choose Carta when…
Your priority is cap-table management across a venture portfolio, or your LPs already expect Carta's fund reporting.
Frequently asked
Can InvestPrep coexist with Carta?
Yes. Managers commonly keep portfolio-company equity where it is and use InvestPrep for investor onboarding, fund-level reporting, and compliance evidence.
