Pulley, a Carta rival, is shutting down

Carta 的竞争对手 Pulley 即将关停

Pulley, a Carta rival, is shutting down. 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.

Carta 的竞争对手 Pulley 即将关停。股权结构表管理平台 Pulley 本周在其网站上宣布，公司即将关停，其运营和服务的最后一天定于 12 月 8 日。令人意外的是，该公司表示已与竞争对手 Carta 达成合作，将客户转移至后者，并将潜在客户引流至 Carta。

Yin Wu, a serial founder and ex-Microsoftie, started building Pulley in 2020 and went on to raise over $50 million from top investors, including General Catalyst, Stripe, and 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).

连续创业者、前微软员工 Yin Wu 于 2020 年开始打造 Pulley，并先后从 General Catalyst、Stripe 和 Founders Fund 等顶级投资者那里筹集了超过 5000 万美元的资金。Pulley 并未说明关停的原因（我们已联系 Wu 请求置评，但她未立即回应）。

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.

然而，一位前员工在网上推测，Pulley 与其说是在与 Carta 竞争，不如说是在与电子表格竞争。如今，初创公司可以轻松利用人工智能来保存、改进和维护其电子表格。

In a statement posted to LinkedIn, Wu thanked her team and backers, writing that “though this is the closing of one chapter, I, along with many of our strongest team members, have no intention of riding off quietly into the night.”

在 LinkedIn 发布的一份声明中，Wu 感谢了她的团队和支持者，并写道：“虽然这是一个篇章的结束，但我以及我们许多最优秀的团队成员，并不打算就这样悄然离场。”

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

“现在是解决重大问题的最佳时机，”她继续说道，“再次感谢多年来支持我们的每一个人。”
