Platform for investing in private capital markets

San Francisco, California, United States

About Securitize

Securitize.io provides a platform for investing in and trading private shares, focusing on democratizing access to private capital markets. Users can invest in vetted opportunities such as startups and funds during their capital raises. The platform operates in the private market, which is growing faster than public markets, catering to both individual and institutional investors. Securitize.io utilizes Digital Asset Securities, or security tokens, which are digital versions of traditional financial products, allowing for quick trade settlements and reducing transactional risks. The company generates revenue through competitive fees on its secondary market trading, while not charging commissions on primary market investments. Additionally, Securitize.io offers an iOS app for users to manage their investments and receive updates, enhancing the investment tracking experience.
