Templum

Templum is a provider of next-generation cloud-based capital market infrastructure for alternative assets and private securities. The company offers an award-winning and patent-pending trading platform that enables investors to participate in new asset classes such as private equity, limited partnerships, real estate, collectibles, art, commodities, and debt products. Templum's combined solution provides liquidity and distribution in private markets by enabling a continuous trading experience for investors, rather than the manual processes traditionally in place.

The company's platform integrates with third parties to support a seamless trading experience, including customer onboarding, capital raising, trading, market surveillance, and settlement, from a single technology stack. Templum's wholly-owned subsidiary, Templum Markets LLC, is a New York-based broker-dealer and Alternative Trading System (ATS) approved to trade unregistered private securities in 53 US states and territories. In June 2022, Templum won the TradingTech Insight US Award for the Best Cloud-Based Trading Environment, recognizing its exceptional trading infrastructure and technology solutions.

Key customers and partnerships

In April 2021, Templum partnered with DriveWealth, a leading global brokerage infrastructure platform, to enable alternative asset marketplaces to deliver transparency and liquidity to investors through a frictionless end-to-end trading and brokerage solution. DriveWealth provides the brokerage infrastructure for account onboarding, funding, custody, clearing, and reporting, while Templum and Templum Markets offer trading solutions, including trade matching, order management, risk and surveillance, market data, and an ATS.

In June 2021, Templum announced a strategic financing round led by WestCap Group, enabling the company to expand its marketplace services and enhance liquidity for institutional and retail investors across the ecosystem. The investment was led by Laurence Tosi, WestCap's founder and former CFO of Airbnb and Blackstone, and Scott Ganeles, a senior partner at WestCap who joined Templum's Board of Directors.

In January 2023, Templum partnered with Netcapital, a digital private capital markets ecosystem, to provide Netcapital's funding portal investors and issuers access to Templum Markets' ATS for trading unregistered or private securities, unlocking liquidity options in historically illiquid securities.
