CapLinked operates a cloud platform for information sharing and collaboration used globally by thousands of companies in 113 countries for financial transactions, business development, due diligence, legal compliance, and secure file retention. The company develops proprietary information-control software and is building TransitNet, a blockchain-based product aimed at the emerging tokenized equity market (STOs). TransitNet is intended to provide post-issuance services and tools to manage reporting, governance, and title verification. The service will be accessible to issuers and token investors as well as service providers and financial institutions that access data on behalf of their clients. CapLinked raised $2.5M in seed funding to advance its blockchain product serving STOs. The company was founded in 2010 and is led by CEO Eric M. Jackson, COO Chris Grey, and newly added CRO David Madden; its investors include Peter Thiel and Founders Fund. CapLinked provides a cloud platform built for integrated, secure workflow management and document collaboration on business deals, projects, and other multi-company collaborations. The software is used by many corporations, private equity funds, and professional service firms. Clients listed include Lending Club, Ernst & Young, Sunbelt Business Brokers, Competitive Power Ventures, FTI Consulting and Brookline Bank. CapLinked closed a $3.5M funding round led by Subtraction Capital, with participation from Indicator Ventures and financing that included venture debt from Western Technology Investment. The company previously raised $4M from Founders Fund’s FF Angel and 500 Startups. It intends to use the funds to expand its sales and marketing efforts. CapLinked operates a SaaS platform that allows companies to manage complex, sensitive interactions including asset sales, financings, and mergers. The solution enables confidential communication and data exchange and features flexible permission controls, activity reports, virtual data rooms (VDRs), secure email, support for flash drives, and FTP. The company counts clients such as Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, Thomson Reuters, Sun Capital, NextView Ventures, Edwards Lifesciences, Draper and Kramer, and Proprietary Capital. CapLinked raised $1M in funding and intends to use the proceeds to expand operations. The platform is positioned for transactions that require tight security and controlled access to documents. The company was founded in 2010 by Eric M. Jackson and Christopher Grey and is based in Manhattan Beach, Calif. CapLinked builds online workspaces and virtual data rooms that let deal parties communicate and exchange files securely. Its platform is used for transactions such as mergers and acquisitions and for investor reporting. The company positions itself as an easier-to-use, cheaper alternative to major virtual data room providers. Named customers include Thomson Reuters, Sun Capital, and NextView Ventures. Co-founder and CEO Eric Jackson said he used CapLinked software to manage this very deal. After the latest addition to its Series A, CapLinked has raised a total of more than $3 million. CapLinked offers online workspaces and virtual data rooms designed to simplify and secure business transactions. The platform targets use cases such as fundraising, commercial real estate, M&A, and business development. Customers include financial institutions, M&A advisors, real estate funds, and startups. CapLinked positions itself as an alternative to expensive, cumbersome virtual data rooms and insecure email, and has released tools to make it easier to use CapLinked alongside AngelList. The company says it has topped $20 billion in total deals hosted on the site. Leadership changes include hiring Adam Sroka as vice president of technology, and the company is led by co-founder and CEO Eric Jackson.
