Where this goes

We are building toward a fund that carries its own memory.

The three stages we are building toward, and — just as important — the specific row of things we are not building, stated plainly rather than left for you to discover in month three.

The board

Live, building, and will not do.

Both stages marked Live are in the product now, with everything shipped since August listed under them. Everything else is labelled for exactly what it is.

Live

Stage one · live

Signal

One surface for pipeline, portfolio and diligence. The scattered stops being scattered.

Live

Stage two · live

Intelligence

The system reads the records the fund already keeps and answers in your own language, with citations you can open.

Building

Stage three · in verification

Anticipation

Work that starts from something happening in the fund rather than from a question, and only ever ends in a proposal. Built and under test — not yet run against a live fund, so not yet switched on for anyone.

In verification

Next · one to two quarters

  • Reading uploaded documents (rolling out)
  • E-signature (built; legal text in review before release)
  • Benchmarking
  • Mobile experience

Later · two to four quarters

  • White-label and multi-fund operator tier
  • Public API and webhooks
  • Adjacent asset classes

The build order

Now, next, and later.

Everything below is intent, not a commitment to a date. Nothing in Next or Later is in the product today, and we will not describe any of it as though it were.

NowThis quarter

The blocking list is empty — the gaps that were holding a launch back closed in July. What is left in this bucket is depth, not coverage: the assistant working on its own is built and covered by automated tests, and is waiting on a full run against a live fund before anybody is offered it.

No open items

NextOne to two quarters

Deepening the wedge, in the order we intend to build it.

  1. Reading uploaded documents

    Built and rolling out: an uploaded deck or financial statement becomes proposed deal fields, and a person approves them before anything is written to the record.

  2. Benchmarking

    Anonymised performance benchmarks across the platform — only possible with many funds on one system.

  3. Mobile experience

    The installable app is the foundation. Founders and LPs are the mobile-first users.

LaterTwo to four quarters

Platform bets. Real intent, no dates.

  1. White-label and multi-fund operator tier

    Accelerators, fund administrators and venture platform operators who serve many funds at once.

  2. Public API and webhooks

    There is currently no way for a customer to integrate DeelSignal into their own systems.

  3. Adjacent asset classes

    Private equity, private credit and real estate run on the same underlying concepts.

  4. A marketplace of connectable data sources

    Curated sources a fund can add in one click.

  5. Uploaded documents in the assistant's memory

    The fund's beliefs are captured once the assistant is allowed to remember them. The same is not yet true of what sits inside an uploaded deck or data-room file.

The row that costs us deals

What we are not: a professional-services firm.

Carta staffs valuation analysts and compliance counsel behind these — that is consultant work with a human signature on it, not a software feature. We are a software company and do not offer that today.

Every item marked Roadmap is on our build plan, not on the product today — we would rather tell you that than have you find out in month three. What we give you now on the compliance-adjacent surfaces we do ship — capital accounts, fund accounting, LP reporting — is AI-assisted review and drafting with a human approving every figure, never a consultant's sign-off and never a substitute for your auditor or counsel. If cap-table administration and tax filing are the job today, buy Carta and let us sit alongside it — the two answer different questions.

And one that is built but not yet proven

The assistant working on its own.

It is built. Work can start from a founder update, a deal going quiet or a valuation moving; it can only ever end in a proposal somebody approves; it is off by default, capped by a monthly ceiling, stopped by a single switch, and every run is on the record. All of that is covered by automated tests — and none of it has yet been run against a live fund, so it is not switched on, not demoable and not for sale. We would rather you knew the shape of it now than met it as a surprise later.

See what's live today.

Both stages marked Live above are in the product now — no roadmap slides required.
