Capitolis Is Reimagining How Capital Markets Operate

Capitolis is a Business Reporter client.

Since the 2008 global financial crisis, changes in financial market structure and the application of new regulations have made the financial system much safer in many respects. However, this safety has come at the expense of financial services capacity, because when large institutions that deliver critical financial services hold more capital, they must reassess the total cost of the services they provide. 

This can often constrain them from doing more of what they do best—delivering critical solutions to their customers—and unnecessarily impedes and diminishes overall market efficiency and economic growth. Meanwhile, massive global economic development has resulted in burgeoning capital accumulation around the world among asset managers, family offices, corporations and other organizations. These institutional investors are seeking viable, vibrant investment opportunities and yield to put all that capital to work.  

Capitolis, a high-growth fintech company, has built a B2B marketplace for capital that solves these fundamental market inefficiencies by connecting banks, which originate, service and deliver critical financial services to their clients, with institutional capital providers that have investment capacity. Capitolis’s solutions are delivered through its platform technology, democratizing access to these collaborative opportunities and uniting large financial service providers with institutional capital providers in creative and simple ways.

Capitolis has a unique problem-solving approach and creates tailored turnkey solutions that serve customers’ specific needs and preferences. Connecting a growing network of originators and investors, Capitolis, just two years after launch, has already facilitated more than $60 billion in financing by working closely with leading global and regional banks as originators and over 50 institutional investors.  

The inefficiency of capital markets demands a change, and it will take all participants working together to improve them. Capitolis is fully committed to changing capital markets for good—blending an intimate understanding of financial services capacity constraints, knowledge of investment realities and innovative technology to make it happen.

Capitolis is riding a strong wave of momentum and growing exponentially as it delivers its vision of a safer and more efficient capital markets ecosystem. In the first quarter of 2022, two-thirds of the largest global banks participated in balance-sheet compression exercises that leveraged Capitolis’s technology, and the company grew its headcount by 50% since the same period last year.

The Capitolis team brings decades of experience in launching successful technology and financial services startups and is backed by the world’s leading venture capital firms. The company has raised $280 million in funding, bringing it to a $1.6 billion valuation. Capitolis operates globally, with offices in New York, London and Tel Aviv.
