Private-market and alternative-investment platforms
Broker Profile
Netcapital
Netcapital traces its current offering to 2014 and Jason Frishman. Unlike a generic brokerage description, its defining characteristic is that it supports online private-company fundraising and investment through Regulation Crowdfunding offerings. The business combines execution or portfolio access with the account servicing described in this profile. The company is privately held or not separately listed, so no public market capitalization is available.
Verify the firm and its terms
Use the legal name in the account agreement to look up a U.S. securities firm and confirm any claimed SIPC membership. Ask for the current fee schedule and verify that the terms apply to your country and account type.
Strengths
- Supports online private-company fundraising and investment through Regulation Crowdfunding offerings
Drawbacks
- At Netcapital, investors must evaluate valuation methodology, holding periods, transfer limits and the absence of exchange liquidity
Profile
What you can trade
Supports online private-company fundraising. The available deals are not interchangeable with public stocks and commonly carry holding-period, transfer or accreditation constraints.
Account types
Individual or entity investment account, usually requiring identity checks and sometimes accredited-investor verification before an offering can be purchased. The registration structure reflects the fact that the service supports online private-company fundraising and investment through Regulation Crowdfunding offerings.
Platform
Netcapital provides web and mobile account access; desktop software, APIs and third-party integrations are available only where specifically supported. The resulting workflow is tailored to a business that supports online private-company fundraising and investment through Regulation Crowdfunding offerings.
Who it suits
Best suited to Netcapital customers whose principal requirement is the capability described in this profile, rather than investors choosing a broker only because of a zero-commission headline.
Where it is offered
Each Netcapital offering establishes its own eligible states and investor standard. Some deals accept non-accredited U.S. investors, while others are restricted to accredited persons or entities and remain unavailable where qualification is incomplete.
