Last week, we announced our partnership with the largest private secondary market in Europe, Seedrs. This will create a unique secondary liquidity offering, serving the needs of the wider market with the ability to trade shares in private companies. Employees and shareholders are now much better off when the time comes and they want to sell their shares. 

Beginning September 14th, 2019, your bank may require additional authentication of your credit card when making payments on Capdesk. This extra security check by various banks has been introduced to comply with an EU payments regulation requiring banks to sometimes perform customer transaction authentication through identity verification. 

We're thrilled to announce that we just raised £1.5 million from London-based VC fund Fuel Ventures and angels to digitise and provide liquidity to the billions of pounds’ worth of employee shares in unlisted European companies. We'd like to thank all of you who have supported us this far, and share with you what our goals are for these exciting next few months for Capdesk. 

There are numerous schemes and plans out there to attract and incentivise employees, and more are certain to see the light of day. Some have tax advantages, such as EMI and CSOP. Others, such as unapproved options, do not, but are also less limited by legislative requirements.

We're proud to announce that our API is now live! This means applications and companies can use Capdesk data on their own systems. First application to use the Capdesk API is Fundstack. Fundstack is a deal workflow tool for PE and VC. Through the API, Fundstack customers will be able to see their portfolio registered on Capdesk while working in the Fundstack app.

As any company issuing employee incentive schemes will recognise, the profit/loss accounting of (and external reporting of) the liabilities such schemes represent in the corporate finances can be complex.

When I designed the very foundation of Capdesk, I decided to make it ready for blockchain technology.

At Capdesk, we value you, and your choice to rely on Capdesk for equity and portfolio management, stakeholder relations, and much more. We work hard and continuously to earn your trust.

Hope you had an excellent beginning to 2018. At Capdesk we have been off to a flying start. So busy that our January brief had to be postponed to February. Anyway, here it is - your monthly brief of the latest platform updates and releases with a particular focus on warrants and draft mode.

First of all, thank you for being part of Capdesk. 2017 has been a great and eventful year for us. We are now supporting +200 companies with a combined shareholder base of +30,000 in 6 countries. This is happening because of you and all customers who have trusted and supported us from the beginning. Thank you!
