We’ve all heard the story: a founder builds something remarkable, sacrifices everything—and walks away with almost nothing. That’s exactly what happened to the founders of FanDuel. They steered their company to a $465M exit. But because of the control they’d given up in previous funding rounds, they didn’t see a dime of that money. If you’re raising capital, it’s up to you to own your outcome. With DealMaker, you can raise capital on your own terms and stay in the driver’s seat when it matters most. #FounderAdvice #CapitalRaising #StartupStrategy #EquityMatters #DealMakerTech

Every industry shift begins with a bold idea—and the capital to bring it to life. At the Boston Robotics Summit & Expo, that transformation was on full display. We met the builders pushing the boundaries of automation, reshaping how industries operate and defining what’s next. We’re proud to power the capital strategies fueling the future. #StartupFunding #Robotics #CapitalRaising #TechInnovation #DealMaker

Change is coming to the capital markets—and we’re proud to be at the forefront. We're pushing for smarter, streamlined regulations—like modernizing 12G thresholds and increasing capital limits—so founders can raise what they need on their terms and everyday Americans can be part of the growth story from the start. This shift isn’t just a trend. It’s about creating broader access to opportunity for founders and investors alike—and it’s been a long time coming. Online capital-raising has proven its value to businesses, investors, the job market, and the greater economy. Now it’s time to scale that vision. #RegA #RetailCapital #PublicMarkets #OnlineCapitalFormation #DealMaker #IPOSummit

Breakthrough robotics tech doesn’t happen on its own—it takes vision, capital, and execution. The Robotics Summit & Expo showcased the speed and scale of innovation in the robotics space today. But building something bold takes more than vision. It takes capital and a faster, smarter way to access it. DealMaker helps companies in robotics and beyond raise the funding they need to scale, without slowing down. Our platform makes raising capital as efficient and future-ready as the technology it powers. Innovation moves fast. We help it move forward. #Robotics #CapitalRaising #RetailCapital #DealMaker

Retail capital is becoming a key piece of the pre-IPO playbook. These investors stay because they connect with the company’s purpose, not just the potential return.That connection often means they hold their shares longer, creating added stability after listing. Founders who include retail in their capital stack can strengthen brand loyalty, build long-term momentum, and head into the public markets with a more engaged shareholder base. At DealMaker, we’ve seen this strategy pay off for companies preparing to go public—and the results speak for themselves. #CapitalRaising #RetailInvestors #IPO #StartupFinance #DigitalCapitalMarkets

Just DealMaker Marketing Services clients. Just one day. This kind of performance is a testament to: • Tight coordination between marketing and customer success • A platform designed to convert at scale • Real-time trust from thousands of retail investors We built this model to deliver results like these, and this week shows how far it can go.
