Pulley, a Carta rival, is shutting down

Подробности

Cap table management platform Pulley announced this week on its website that it was shutting down, and its final day of operations and services will be December 8. In a twist, it said it has partnered with its rival, Carta, to offload customers; it’s also redirecting prospective clients to Carta.

Инь Ву, серийный основатель и бывший сотрудник Microsoft, начал создавать Pulley в 2020 году и привлек более 50 миллионов долларов от ведущих инвесторов, включая General Catalyst, Stripe и Founders Fund.

Pulley didn’t offer a reason for the shutdown (we’ve reached out to Wu for comment, but she didn’t immediately respond). However, a former employee speculated online that Pulley wasn’t so much competing with Carta as it was with spreadsheets. And these days, startups can easily use AI to keep, improve, and maintain their spreadsheets.

В заявлении, опубликованном в LinkedIn, Ву поблагодарила свою команду и спонсоров, написав, что «хотя это закрытие одной главы, я, как и многие из наших самых сильных членов нашей команды, не собираюсь тихо уходить в ночь».

“There has never been a better time to solve big problems,” she continued. “Thank you again to everyone who supported us over the years.”
