Startly Capital is the operating name of Startly Inc. (Ontario), a registered Exempt Market Dealer serving established investment managers conducting ongoing exempt market distributions.

We provide a registered dealer platform for private investment funds, private REITs, Mortgage Investment Corporations (MICs), private credit funds, and other evergreen investment vehicles seeking a long-term dealer relationship supported by experienced compliance, supervision, and governance.

A Compliance-Focused Dealer Platform

Conducting continuous exempt market distributions requires more than registration. Registered dealers are expected to maintain effective supervisory systems, documented compliance procedures, KYC, KYP and suitability processes, conflict of interest management, regulatory reporting, recordkeeping, and ongoing supervision of registered individuals.

Our platform enables investment managers to conduct ongoing exempt market distributions through an established registered dealer while reducing the operational burden of building and maintaining an internal dealer infrastructure.

Where appropriate, and subject to securities regulatory approval and Startly’s onboarding, training, and supervisory requirements, eligible investor relations professionals may become registered Dealing Representatives sponsored by Startly. This allows investment managers to continue working with their investors within an established dealer supervision framework.

We primarily support established evergreen investment programs raising more than $10 million annually.
