The Future of Online Capital Raising

In this episode of Behind the Raise, Martin is joined by Tariq Esmail, VP of Sales at DealMaker, for a conversation on what is changing across private capital markets and online capital raising. Together, they explore how issuers can approach direct-to-investor fundraising, what separates successful raises from underperforming campaigns, and why owning your investor audience can become a long-term strategic advantage. Tariq also shares insights from the front lines at DealMaker, including the rise of self-hosted capital raises, the importance of issuer commitment, and where private markets may be heading next.
