EquiDeFi Ltd.

EquiDeFi Ltd. is a financial technology company providing cloud-based software for the management and execution of private securities offerings. Its platform replaces fragmented processes with a centralized digital workflow through which issuers and their agents can manage investor onboarding, compliance reviews, document execution, payments, communications, closing, and record retention.

The company licenses its software to issuers and other market participants conducting Regulation D, Regulation A+ Tier 2, and Regulation S offerings. EquiDeFi generates revenue from platform licensing and related services, including compliance checks, communications, payment processing, marketing and dashboard access, data services, and marketing-referral arrangements; it does not operate as a broker-dealer or charge transaction-based commissions or contingency fees.

EquiDeFi seeks to broaden access to private investment opportunities by giving issuers infrastructure to manage large numbers of individual investors through online and mobile workflows. Its stated mission is to ease the operational and compliance burden of private capital formation while enabling investors to participate directly in individual offerings.

The company is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Platform

EquiDeFi’s self-service platform allows issuers to connect their websites and marketing campaigns to customized “Invest Now” links or QR codes. The system guides investors through identity verification, KYC, KYB, AML, accredited-investor verification, suitability review, funding, and electronic execution of subscription agreements.

The platform supports card, ACH, wire, stablecoin, and cryptocurrency payments, as well as closing, transfer-agent exports, investor communications, audit trails, and secure document retention. Issuers and their advisers receive real-time dashboards covering offering progress, compliance status, the investment pipeline, marketing effectiveness, and return on investment, while investors can monitor subscriptions and access executed documents through the Investor Portal and Investor Vault.

EquiDeFi also offers subscription analytics to issuers and marketing teams and is developing EQ Predict to analyze aggregated, de-personalized platform data. Additional planned initiatives include investor subscription services, support for third-party securities tokenization, direct investments in selected platform issuers, and closed-end funds focused on platform clients and potential future unicorns.

Market Opportunity

EquiDeFi describes its target market as the trillions of dollars in private placements conducted annually. The company focuses on Regulation D offerings, which have no dollar limit under Rule 506(c); Regulation A+ Tier 2 offerings, which allow issuers to raise up to $75 million in a 12-month period; and Regulation S offerings.
The company states that its platform has assisted issuers in offering more than $1 billion of securities to more than 60,000 potential investors since 2025. Its software has been used for raises ranging from $2 million to $500 million, with disclosed examples including Newsmax, the Los Angeles Times, Phoenix Energy, FullPAC, Parler Technologies, Daré Bioscience, and Harmon Retail Holdings.
