Legal(tech) Briefs: Zach Posner ft Henry Ward



Welcome to Legal(tech) Briefs! In this episode, Zach Posner sits down with Henry Ward, CEO and co-founder of Carta — the equity management platform trusted by over 50,000 companies, 8,500 funds, and 2.5 million equity holders.


Henry shares the origin story of Carta, which began as eShares with a simple idea: digitize paper stock certificates. From that starting point, Henry walks through how Carta grew into the industry’s foundational infrastructure for cap tables, valuations, and equity management.


Zach and Henry explore the future of private market transparency, the evolving role of legal and finance teams, and how Carta is helping redefine ownership itself. They discuss the UX-first philosophy behind Carta’s platform, and why design matters deeply in building trust and compliance into financial systems.


With a background spanning software, finance, and entrepreneurship — and a standout appearance at last year’s TLTF Summit — Henry offers a compelling view into how infrastructure companies are built and where private markets are headed.


Whether you’re a founder, legal leader, or investor, this episode is packed with insight on the past, present, and future of equity.
