Your next raise should not depend entirely on introductions
You already know how to raise capital.
The problem is getting in front of enough relevant investors consistently.
Most firms rely on:
- Personal introductions
- Existing investor relationships
- Scattered outreach
- One-off webinars
- Expensive advertising
- Waiting for the right investor to find them
That works until your network gets tapped out.
Capital Engine gives your firm a repeatable way to distribute its opportunities to accredited investors who are actively exploring private investments.
You run the raise. DealStack brings the room.
Capital Engine helps you get discovered, explain your opportunity, and receive investor interest without paying a percentage of capital raised.
Your firm gets:
- A firm profile investors can discover
- Dedicated pages for your live opportunities
- Distribution through the DealStack marketplace
- Placement in relevant investor browsing experiences
- Investor email promotion
- Webinar promotion
- Live Deal Briefing opportunities
- Promotional content through DealStack channels
- Investor information requests and registrations
- A clear handoff so your team can follow up
You control the offering, documents, investor communication, diligence process, and closing.
DealStack creates the distribution. Your team handles the relationship.
How Capital Engine works
- 01
Publish your firm and opportunity
Give investors one clear place to understand who you are, what you offer, and what they need to know about the current opportunity.
Your profile can include:
- Firm background
- Investment focus
- Team information
- Track record
- Current opportunities
- Offering materials
- Webinar details
- Investor questions and next steps
- 02
Reach relevant investors
DealStack distributes your firm and opportunity through the channels investors already use to discover private investments.
Your opportunity may appear through:
- Marketplace browsing
- Investor emails
- Plan-aligned discovery
- Webinar promotion
- Live Deal Briefings
- Podcast and video content
- Priority promotional placement
You are not paying to appear in front of everyone.
Your opportunity is promoted among investors for whom it may be relevant based on the information they have provided.
- 03
Receive investor connections
When an investor requests more information, registers for your webinar, or opts in to connect with your firm, DealStack passes the connection to your team.
You follow up directly.
- No percentage of capital raised
- No payment tied to an investment closing
- No custody of investor funds
- 04
Keep distributing as you raise
Capital Engine is built for firms that raise more than once.
Keep your firm visible, promote new opportunities, and create a repeatable source of investor interest instead of rebuilding your distribution from zero every time you raise.
Your first 10 connections come before monthly billing
Founding firms begin with a $500 deposit.
We promote your firm and opportunity through DealStack’s distribution channels.
Your $500/month subscription begins only after your first 10 qualified accredited investor connections are delivered.
If we do not deliver the first 10 connections, your deposit is refunded according to the terms of your agreement.
This is a guarantee on investor reach and connections, not on:
- Capital raised
- Investment commitments
- Investment returns
- Investor suitability
- Closing speed
- Any specific investment outcome
You run the raise. We create the opportunity to be found.
What counts as an investor connection?
A new U.S.-based investor who has indicated that they are accredited during DealStack onboarding and who registers for, requests information about, attends, or requests an introduction regarding your deal through DealStack. Duplicates, employees, contractors, affiliated parties, and fraudulent or unusable submissions do not count. The investor does not have to invest for the connection to count.
Fit
Who Capital Engine is for
Capital Engine is designed for firms that:
- Raise capital repeatedly
- Expect to promote multiple opportunities
- Want to reach beyond their existing network
- Have a team ready to follow up with investor interest
- Prefer flat fees over transaction-based compensation

Capital Engine is probably not the right fit if you:
- Are raising for one opportunity only
- Do not have a team available to follow up

- Are looking for placement-agent services
- Do not have a compliant process for handling investor inquiries

Founder
Built by an investor, not an ad network
Pascal Wagner
DealStack was built by Pascal Wagner after deploying more than $5M across 30+ private investments.
The platform exists because private-market investing is difficult to navigate from the outside.
Investors want a plan, not a pitch.
Firms need a better way to explain their opportunities and reach relevant investors without relying entirely on personal introductions, expensive cold outreach, or transaction-based fees.
Capital Engine is the distribution layer for firms that want to be found by more of the right investors.

Capital Engine is marketing and software, not a securities transaction. DealStack is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or placement agent. It does not recommend offerings, handle investor funds, or guarantee capital raised, investment returns, or investment outcomes. Firms are responsible for their offerings, disclosures, investor verification, communications, and compliance obligations. Priority placement applies only among deals with equal investor fit — firms cannot pay to appear in a plan they don’t match.
