Czym zajmuje się Magna

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.

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.

Często zadawane pytania

Czy to jest prawdziwa aplikacja Magna do YC?

Nie. Y Combinator utrzymuje prywatność złożonych aplikacji. Jest to rekonstrukcja: prawdziwe pytania z formularza YC, na które odpowiedziano na podstawie publicznych danych Magna (notatki o premierze, tło founderów, opis produktu). Pokazuje, jak firma taka jak Magna przedstawiłaby się YC, a nie tekst, który złożyli.
