CapQuest, a Dubai-based equity management platform, closed $1 million in pre-Seed funding led by Oraseya Capital and AMKM Family Office, Wamda.com reported on October 20, 2026. The company said the funds will support product development, automation and international expansion.
CapQuest's Equity Platform and Its Founders
Antoine Bruna, Marco Banfi and Anvita Varshney founded CapQuest in 2023. The platform lets startups and established businesses manage ownership structures, capitalisation tables, employee stock ownership plans, vesting schedules, fundraising transactions and shareholder communications.
The company said the funding will support product development, increased automation, enhanced equity management tools and commercial expansion. CapQuest serves clients across 11 countries, with a focus on the Middle East, Europe and emerging markets, and its client portfolio includes Holo, Erad, Avenia and Teylor.
"This funding represents an important milestone for CapQuest and a strong validation of our vision," said Antoine Bruna, CEO and Co-Founder of CapQuest. "Equity management remains unnecessarily complex for many companies, particularly as they scale and expand internationally. We're building the infrastructure to make equity management more accessible, transparent, and efficient."
Oraseya Capital and AMKM Investments led the round. CapQuest said the platform is designed to replace fragmented spreadsheets and manual processes, helping companies simplify equity operations, improve transparency and maintain accurate ownership records.

According to akta.pro company records, CapQuest has three funding rounds on record. A September 2025 pre-seed round was led by Oraseya Capital, marking the first disclosed institutional capital event. A January 2026 series unknown round followed, and a June 2026 non-equity assistance round was led by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund.

CapQuest's Expansion Plans
CapQuest said the round will accelerate product development, expand its commercial presence and enhance its equity management capabilities through greater automation and more advanced tools. The company said it aims to become a leading platform for equity and investment management, connecting companies, shareholders and investors within a unified ecosystem.
