DealMaker

DealMaker is a financial technology platform specializing in end-to-end online capital raising solutions for businesses at any stage of growth. Founded by leading capital markets lawyers with experience on both Wall Street and Bay Street, the company has facilitated over $2 billion in capital raised across its platform. DealMaker consolidates what traditionally requires multiple vendors — a capital raising platform, a broker-dealer, a transfer agent, and a marketing team — into a single integrated system, giving founders complete ownership of their investor data from start to finish.

The platform supports multiple regulatory frameworks for securities offerings, including Reg A+ and other structures, enabling companies to set their own valuations, control dilution, avoid mandatory board seat concessions, and build a proprietary shareholder base. Unlike marketplace-style crowdfunding platforms, DealMaker gives issuers full access to their investor leads and the ability to engage directly with prospects throughout the fundraising process. Payment processing supports card, ACH, and wire transactions, with integrated KYC identity verification and AML screening built into the workflow. Cap table management is also included, providing real-time visibility into ownership distribution across founders, retail shareholders, option pools, and SAFEs.

DealMaker's integrated broker-dealer subsidiary, DealMaker Securities, is registered with FINRA, allowing the platform to manage the regulatory and compliance dimensions of securities offerings in-house. This structure simplifies the operational burden for issuers significantly, particularly those managing thousands of subscription agreements across multiple jurisdictions.

Beyond the core technology platform, DealMaker offers a full suite of marketing services under DealMaker Marketing Services (formerly DealMaker Reach). These services include website design and development tailored to investor narratives, community building and multi-channel funnel nurturing via email, SMS, and investor webinars, paid media campaign management on platforms such as Google and Meta, sponsored content placements in media publications and industry newsletters, full-service video production from scriptwriting through post-production, and data-driven campaign strategy and planning with regular performance reporting.

Notable clients and case studies include EnergyX, which raised over $148 million from more than 42,000 investors while closing strategic partnerships with GM, POSCO, and Eni; Pacaso, a venture-backed real estate company that raised over $73 million from more than 17,000 retail investors; and Oakland Ballers, a sports franchise that completed its first offering in nine days with fan-shareholders gaining director election rights. These examples illustrate the platform's applicability across industries including energy, real estate, and sports and entertainment.

DealMaker is headquartered in North America and serves companies seeking to democratize their capital formation by accessing retail and community investors at scale, rather than relying solely on institutional or venture capital sources.
