A leading provider of equity management services for privately-held startups has been accused of using confidential customer information to boost its own business, sparking a wave of finger-pointing and recriminations within Silicon Valley's startup community over the weekend.
At the center of the dispute is Carta, the equity management services startup last valued at $7.4 billion. On Friday, a Carta customer alleged on social media that Carta was using his company’s private information for self-dealing.
