DealMaker, North America’s largest retail capital-raising platform, has raised $20m in equity and debt financing led by new investor Information Venture Partners, with participation from existing backer CIBC Innovation Banking.
The funding marks a significant milestone for the company as it looks to expand its technology capabilities and solidify its position in the $2.4tn retail capital markets.
The fresh funding aims to accelerate DealMaker’s next wave of growth and product innovation. The company plans to scale its U.S. footprint. The capital raise follows a series of key milestones, including the acquisition of Rally On Media, the launch of DealMaker Sports, and the opening of its new headquarters in New York City.
Founded to modernise how companies access and engage investors, DealMaker has built a platform that simplifies the capital-raising process. The company has helped hundreds of firms across diverse industries raise more than $2.3bn in capital directly from individual investors—ranging from early-stage startups to pre- and post-IPO private offerings.
DealMaker’s AI-driven, white-label platform allows issuers to manage their entire capital-raising lifecycle on one platform. It empowers businesses to acquire, convert, and engage retail investors while maintaining full control over their brand, data, and investor relationships.
DealMaker co-founder and CEO Rebecca Kacaba said, “We are very excited to have the backing of Information Venture Partners and CIBC Innovation Banking-two firms that share our vision for the democratization of capital markets and the power of direct to investor capital raising.
“We believe it’s more important than ever to take a strategic approach to capital raising-from venture capital to retail equity to growth debt-this round allows us to accelerate the deployment of AI across our product line, capitalize on emerging ownership models across professional and collegiate sports, and deliver greater value to our customers. This positions DealMaker to be a market leader in a rapidly growing sector where more and more companies-from startups to the hottest IPOs are prioritizing retail investors.”
