DealMaker, a tech-enabled broker-dealer specializing in online capital formation, has announced a new Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Jonathan Stidd.
DealMaker co-founder and CEO Rebecca Kacaba said that Stidd’s track record of working with issuers to raise over $600 million has helped to define the crowdfunding industry.
“He leads with vision and drive. His expertise, innovation, and strong character are exactly what DealMaker needs to lead the charge into a new era of online capital raising.”
Stidd is expected to help boost DealMaker in its next phase of growth while enhancing its market presence. DealMaker reports that it has already facilitated over $2 billion in funding under the various exemptions making it one of the largest crowdfunding platforms in the world.
