Magna의 사업 내용

Magna is building a platform to turn DeFi investments into financial primitives. Our first product is Carta for Web3, where companies can manage their cap tables and distribute their token equity to employees, advisors, or investors. We’re also building investor infrastructure for institutions to custody investments with on-chain execution and intelligence. Our ultimate goal is to use locked tokens as composable building blocks to power collateralized lending, liquid secondary markets, and other DeFi applications. Launching a token? Let's chat. Are you receiving tokens from your investments? We can also be helpful. What are our companies saying about the problem? > Having it all bundled together would make life easier. We have a million things to do. If you have an off-the-shelf thing, we’d use it. > This wouldn’t be a nice to have, it’d be a have to have. > Terrible process. We’re manually sending out transactions, going to solscan and manually check that they received our token. Takes hours every week. > Everything we do is potentially very dangerous. We have to check it thoroughly. I’ve spent several hours a day on this since launch. I imagine every month, it’ll take us at least 1-2 days. > Manual process every month for the ops team. They likely burn a week.... every month to pay out 150+ addresses.

Carta for Web3: token vesting and DeFi management

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a platform that turns DeFi investments into financial primitives. Our first product is a Web3 cap table manager that handles token equity distributions for companies, employees, advisors, and investors. We also provide investor infrastructure to custody DeFi investments, execute on-chain transactions, and offer intelligence. Our goal is to make locked tokens useful for lending, secondary markets, and other DeFi uses.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY, and after YC the company would remain based there.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is where we formed the company and built our core team. It connects us directly to many fintech and crypto investors and partners, which is critical for our product and business.

자주 묻는 질문

Magna의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Magna의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Magna과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
