Security and compliance
A register of record has to be trustworthy first
Ownership data is sensitive and legally significant. CapSign is built so that only the right people see it, every change is attributable, and offerings stay inside the rules.
Access
Only the right people, by default
- Passkey sign-in
- Accounts are protected by passkeys bound to your device, so there are no passwords to phish or reuse.
- Verified claims
- Only a confirmed officer with a work email on the company's domain can claim a company and its page.
- Role-based access
- Owners, admins, counsel, and viewers each get the access their role needs, and banking needs an owner's approval. Holders see only their own positions.
- Holder names never public
- Public pages show capitalization totals only when the company opts in. Individual holders are never listed.
- Audit trail
- Every change to the register records who made it, when, and which signed approval authorized it.
- Completion certificates
- Signed documents carry a record of each signer and timestamp, filed against the security they created.
Registers
You choose what's onchain, and who can read it
Every register lives on CapSign. Anchoring onchain is optional, and the confidential mode encrypts ownership so only the company's viewing key can read it.

Offerings
Regulation D, conducted by the issuer
CapSign gives companies the tools to run their own private placements. The company is the issuer, invites its own investors, and is responsible for its offering.
Rule 506(b)
For investors the company already has a relationship with. No general solicitation, so 506(b) offerings never appear in the public directory or a company's public page.
Rule 506(c)
Open only to accredited investors, and may be shown on the company's page. The company must take reasonable steps to verify each investor's status, so every investor completes accreditation verification before subscribing.
Sanctions screening
Every subscriber is screened against U.S. sanctions lists before the company can accept them, and again at closing. Companies can also require identity verification.
Accreditation
506(c) offerings require verified accreditation, and an expired verification has to be renewed before the next subscription.
No custody
Investors wire directly to the company's own bank account. CapSign never holds, receives, or moves investor money.
Software, not a broker
CapSign doesn't find investors, recommend securities, give investment advice, negotiate terms, hold investor funds, or match buyers and sellers. We don't take a fee on any raise. Every placement surface in the product carries this disclosure.
CapSign provides software that companies use to run their own offerings. CapSign is not a broker-dealer, funding portal, or investment adviser, and is not a FINRA member. It does not recommend or give advice about any security, and it does not hold or transmit investor funds. Each offering is made by the issuing company only through its own offering documents.
