As the financial industry shifts toward blockchain, Web3 technologies, and decentralized finance, investment banks specializing in pre-IPO capital raises face both challenges and opportunities. Traditional models of raising capital are being disrupted by platforms like Ohanae, which leverages Web3 technology to streamline capital markets, eliminate intermediaries, and enhance transparency.
We invite investment banks to join the Ohanae Alliance, a strategic partnership that offers your firm a forward-looking approach to capital raising and market participation. By partnering with Ohanae, you’ll gain access to innovative funding models, liquidity opportunities, and new avenues for long-term growth in a transformed securities market.
Why Partner with Ohanae?
The Ohanae Platform offers direct, secure, and transparent transactions, eliminating traditional intermediaries like broker-dealers and custodians. This results in faster, more efficient capital raising and instant settlement, addressing long-standing inefficiencies in the over-the-counter (OTC) markets. As part of the Ohanae Alliance, your firm will adapt to this innovative financial landscape, taking advantage of our cutting-edge platform while opening new opportunities for growth through both institutional and retail investors.
The Ohanae Alliance Value Proposition for Investment Banks
As a firm specializing in pre-IPO capital raising, your role in securing funding for high-growth companies is essential. By joining the Ohanae Alliance, you gain access to a wealth of new tools and opportunities, including:?
- Reinventing Your Capital-Raising Model The pre-IPO capital-raising process often involves complex, time-consuming operations with numerous intermediaries. By partnering with Ohanae, you can streamline this process, eliminating inefficiencies and counterparty risks. Ohanae's technology-driven solutions ensure faster, more secure transactions, making your firm a leader in innovative capital-raising practices.
- Leveraging Dual Capital-Raising Channels Ohanae empowers investment banks to raise funds from strategic and institutional investors, while our platform acts as the digital transfer agent, handling equity crowdfunding from retail investors. This dual-channel approach maximizes fundraising potential and engages diverse investor segments, offering a comprehensive and efficient fundraising solution.
- Success Fees in Cash and Equity Investment banking partners in the Ohanae Alliance have the option to receive their success fees in both cash and equity. This hybrid model not only lowers the immediate cash burden on issuers but also offers investment banks long-term capital gain potential through equity stakes in high-growth companies. As these companies move from mini-IPOs on Ohanae to traditional IPOs on major exchanges like Nasdaq or NYSE, the equity portion becomes a valuable asset.
- Becoming a Liquidity Provider on the Ohanae ATS By accepting a portion of fees in equity, investment banking partners can also choose to become liquidity providers (LPs) in the Ohanae ATS based on Automated Market Maker (AMM) technology. This not only increases liquidity in the market but also provides investment banks with additional revenue opportunities from the fees generated by AMM transactions. The equity they hold becomes an active asset, offering both immediate liquidity and long-term appreciation.
- Immediate Liquidity through the Ohanae ATS After the funding round closes, issuers' securities can be traded directly on the Ohanae ATS, providing instant settlement and direct ownership for investors. The ATS eliminates delays and inefficiencies associated with traditional trading processes, and your firm can offer clients a seamless transition from capital raising to secondary market trading in a secure, transparent environment.
- Innovative Fundraising with Reg A+ (Also Known as Mini IPOs) Ohanae specializes in Reg A+ offerings, also known as mini IPOs, providing investment banks with opportunities to assist companies that may not yet be ready for a traditional IPO. These offerings enable smaller, high-growth companies to raise public funding in a cost-effective and compliant manner, creating new revenue streams for your firm while expanding your client base.
- Enhancing Credibility and Market Reach As an Ohanae Alliance partner, your firm can serve a broader range of issuers, including tech startups, Web3 ventures, and other high-growth sectors. By leveraging Ohanae’s blockchain-based platform, you can ensure that your clients benefit from enhanced transparency and security, boosting their credibility with both institutional and retail investors. This global reach provides access to a wider pool of capital and opportunities for growth.
- Co-Leading the Future of Capital Markets By becoming a strategic shareholder in Ohanae, your firm can actively shape the platform’s future, influencing its direction, product development, and market expansion. This partnership places your firm at the forefront of capital market innovation, securing your leadership in a financial world increasingly driven by digital transformation.
