Q4 2025 marked a defining close to a milestone year for Capital Engine®. Over the past quarter, we continued to execute on our strategy of building institutional-grade infrastructure for private markets, while scaling platforms, partnerships, and regulatory capabilities. With strong momentum heading into 2026, Capital Engine® is firmly positioned as a next-generation private markets investment bank and technology company.
FINRA Approval Secured – Mallory Capital Group
We are pleased to confirm that our acquisition of Mallory Capital Group received formal FINRA approval in 2025. This milestone enables Capital Engine® to operate with fully integrated broker-dealer capabilities and deliver compliant private placements, Reg A offerings, and secondary market transactions at scale. Full release here.
This approval is foundational to our vision of building a regulated, end-to-end private markets infrastructure - combining technology, advisory, and execution under one platform.
Executive Leadership in Place
We are currently engaged with a number of highly qualified candidates for the Chief Operating Officer (COO) role, a position that will ultimately lead and oversee our broker-dealer operations through Mallory Capital Group. This hire is a critical step as we scale regulated execution, enterprise partnerships, and secondary market activity across the platform. We expect to have this role finalized and in place by the end of February 2026.
Following the December 2025 onboarding of our Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), Erik Cooper, whose background spans corporate and investment banking, founding his own tech startups, and leading venture capital efforts, giving him an unmatched ability to execute in our business environment. We anticipate a strong positive impact beginning in Q1 2026, including accelerated strategic partnerships, improved execution velocity, and strengthened revenue performance across all platform verticals.
USA REIT Platform Scaling
Our USA REIT private markets real estate investment platform, launched in July 2025, continued to gain traction throughout Q4. USA REIT Markets provides sponsors and investors with access to curated commercial real estate offerings, funds, syndications, and future liquidity pathways.

Enterprise Platform Execution: Reg A and Broker-Dealer Solutions

Strategic Alliance with Regiment

Wall Street Validates the Private Markets Thesis
Over the past few months, the largest institutions on Wall Street have made major acquisitions in private markets, signaling that this sector is rapidly going mainstream:
- Morgan Stanley acquired EquityZen
- Charles Schwab acquired Forge Global for $660 million
- Goldman Sachs acquired Industry Ventures for up to $965 million
Capital Engine® has been building something fundamentally bigger.
We’re opening private markets to everyone, giving issuers the ability to raise directly from their communities, while supporting primary issuance, secondaries trading, enterprise advisory, and regulated execution in one integrated ecosystem.
What the giants just validated is the thesis we’ve been executing on for years.
We've built mission critical infrastructure that powers the $65 trillion private markets shift.
