The “CapEqui — Capital for Equity” Private Markets Database is a global digital platform built to provide Development Finance Institutions, impact funds, and institutional investors direct access to verified SME opportunities across Emerging and Frontier Economies, the Caribbean and Central America, and selected SEDI/VSB segments in the United States. It provides standardized data, research, and screening tools that streamline due diligence across the regions.
Emerging and Frontier Markets remain the least digitized and least connected to the global private capital ecosystem. CapEqui changes that by combining investors and verified SME data to unlock scalable growth opportunities.
We’re building the bridge between capital and opportunity — empowering frontier economies to participate in global growth.
Fundraising can supercharge your startup's growth, but it's tricky to know when to start the process. Raising funds isn't as simple as pitching your idea and receiving money; it's a choice you'll want to think carefully about.
Each time you receive money from investors, you're giving them a piece of ownership in your company. This dilutes your personal equity – reducing your share of proceeds in the event of an exit – and opens the door to outside feedback and opinions. Investors aren't just sponsors; they can influence marketing, hiring, and product development, especially if they have a seat on your company's board of directors.
We will cover everything you need to know about fundraising, from different types of investors and funding rounds to how you can prepare for your next raise.
