The Team You’ll Work With

Policy is infrastructure as well. It can drive innovation or bind its growth. It can incentivize entrepreneurship, expand investment, and facilitate the experimentation that leads to new innovations and opportunities. It can also impede the launch of an innovative startup, restrict a new product or service, or hinder the development of a company as it raises capital and transitions from private to public ownership. Policy affects nearly every aspect of the innovation ecosystem. Carta advocates for a policy framework that fuels its benefits.

The Analyst -- Public Policy will collaborate across the External Affairs and Marketing function, our Platform Team (corporate function), and our Business Units.
