@Netcapital is partnering with @RialtoMarkets! Rialto’s ATS will provide Netcapital issuers and investors with the potential for expanded distribution and liquidity. Both companies are thrilled to advance their shared vision for private capital markets!
“We were initially drawn to Netcapital because of the important role their team and platform are playing in the digital private capital markets as well as our shared optimism around that market opportunity,” said Shari Noonan, CEO and Co-Founder of Rialto. “Our team has been at the forefront of building next generation trading technology for decades. First, it was with the electronification of the equities markets in the 1990s, then building some of the first ATSs at Goldman and Deutsche Bank before founding Rialto in 2016. We’ve experienced the evolution of markets across asset classes including SWAPS, FX and corporate bonds. Now we’re really excited to see the evolution of what we believe to be the next big wave: private markets.”
