Caplight raises $16M for private-market trading
Caplight Technologies raised a $16M Series A led by BlackRock and Fin Capital for private-market trading infrastructure.
Private markets are getting bigger, but liquidity and pricing are still messy. Caplight is building infrastructure for investors who want better access to late-stage private-company exposure.
What happened
Caplight Technologies closed a $16M Series A led by BlackRock and Fin Capital.
The company builds infrastructure for private-market trading, helping investors price and trade exposure to private companies.
Why it matters
This is a fintech and private-markets signal.
As companies stay private longer, more value creation happens before public listing. Investors need better tools for liquidity, pricing and structured access to private assets.
The bigger picture
Private markets are becoming more institutionalised. The next wave of fintech infrastructure may focus on making private-company exposure more transparent, tradable and accessible.
