Our take
Capitolis aims to reimagine how capital markets operate and address the challenges they face. It does this by building tech to change how money is moved around, to speed up and simplify how banks transact with each other.
The company's tech optimises financial resources for market participants, enabling financial institutions to utilise their resources better, work more easily with new market participants, and increase their access to diversified capital. The overall aim of this is to produce fairer, safer, and healthier capital markets.
Already working with more than 100 big banks, Capitolis has optimised trillions of dollars in trades. It has also raised significant funding and expanded its advisory board to include former government financial leaders, which gives it a huge edge in the space.
On the back of $56 million in 2025 funding, Capitolis hopes to continue its expansion and contribute further to the reimagining of how capital markets operate. It has a wealth of expertise and experience to draw from, and continues to expand and improve its products, for example, by working to reduce response times and increase automation.
