Jarsy, a U.S.-based digital investment platform aimed at widening access to private equity markets, has officially launched after emerging from stealth with $5m in pre-seed funding.
The funding round was led by Breyer Capital, with participation from Karman Ventures and several prominent angel investors. These include Evan Cheng, CEO of Mysten Labs; Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage; Richard Liu, CEO of Huma Finance; and executives from companies including Niantic, EigenLayer, Moonpay, Babylon Labs, Zettablock, and Confluent.
The company is focused on breaking the exclusivity of venture capital and private equity investing by allowing individuals to invest in tokenised equity of high-growth private firms—such as Stripe, Anthropic, and Perplexity AI—with as little as $10.
The platform operates on a 1:1 asset-backed token model, meaning each token issued is fully backed by real equity in custody. Users can register using an email address, pay in USDC or USD, and receive tokenised shares without managing wallets, seed phrases, or blockchain fees. Jarsy handles due diligence, legal paperwork, and wallet management, aiming to streamline the entire process for investors.
The new capital will be used to accelerate product development, expand regulatory capabilities, and grow the user experience team to support its global ambitions. Jarsy also plans to form partnerships with legal and financial institutions such as Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and to scale financial education content aimed at younger investors.
Jarsy CEO Han Qin said, “Private equity investing has been a closed club for far too long.
“We started Jarsy to rewrite the playbook – bringing accessibility, transparency, and blockchain technology to a space that’s been gatekept by institutions and ultra-high net worth individuals. We built Jarsy for a new generation of everyday investors – whether crypto-natives or completely new to blockchain – to democratize access to pre-IPO investments.”
Breyer Capital partner Ted Breyer said, “Jarsy is solving a real market gap with strong validation and one clear mission: to make the next generation of tech giants investable for everyone. Han and his team have built products that serve billions. They bring a rare ability to scale with a deep respect for the end user.”
