Open Permissioned Blockchain Solution for Private Equity Funding Using a Global, Cross-Cloud Network Blockchain Platform

The capitalization table, commonly known as a cap table, is a comprehensive record of ownership and equity distribution within a company. It serves as a document, typically in the form of a spreadsheet or database table, that outlines all the securities or shares in a company and presents the equity capitalization of the company. However, cap tables maintained on centralized databases are susceptible to significant attacks. Corda has emerged as a blockchain platform specifically designed for business applications, prioritizing privacy and scalability. Corda operates as a private blockchain, enabling communication exclusively between involved parties in a transaction. Its primary objective is to facilitate secure and efficient value-added transactions and data sharing among businesses. As a solution, a Corda-based platform is proposed to bring together companies and investors for private equity funding. The proposed platform leverages a secure version of the cap table, referred to as a mirror table, to deliver cap table functionalities. By utilizing the blockchain technology provided by Corda, transactions become secure and tamper-proof, significantly reducing the risk of fraudulent activities and enhancing investor confidence. This innovative approach has the potential to revolutionize the crowdfunding industry by establishing a secure and transparent means for businesses to raise capital and for investors to participate in investments.
