"Having spent time with the Valtech management team, I am excited about the increased scale and scope of the combined Valtech and Kin and Carta businesses and Valtech's commitment to Kin and Carta's B Corp re-certification. I believe the combination will further accelerate the career growth of our people and bring more to the clients we serve," Kelly Manthey, Kin and Carta CEO.
