Globacap
Globacap launched in 2017 in London, founded by CEO Myles Milston, with a mandate to bring workflow automation and capital markets infrastructure to private securities. The firm is not a family office but a regulated fintech and asset manager, originally incubated under the UK Financial Conduct Authority's regulatory sandbox. This sandbox participation shaped its early compliance architecture around blockchain-based private placements. The platform operates across three structural layers: a private markets workflow system for cap table management and investor onboarding, a digital securities issuance engine, and a private debt fund management business. The firm's subsidiary, Globacap Private Markets Limited, became an FCA-authorized small authorized UK Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) for private credit funds. Asset classes in scope include private equity, private credit, and real estate equity. Milston has publicly confirmed the platform has facilitated over £20 billion in private share and debt issuances, with clients ranging from listed companies to venture-backed startups. Confirmed network partners include law firms and corporate advisors who use the system to manage investor registers. The firm's most significant public milestone came in 2024 when it acquired the technology platform of Delio, a Welsh private markets configurator that white-labeled deal rooms for financial institutions including Barclays and UBS. That transaction brought Delio's institutional client book under the Globacap umbrella and extended distribution for its automated private placement workflow. Globacap's headcount and assets under administration are not publicly disclosed. The firm maintains its headquarters in London, with the Delio acquisition adding a Cardiff presence. Structurally, Globacap differs from generic workflow tools by operating as both the software provider and a regulated fund manager. That dual posture allows clients to use a single system for issuing, administering, and managing private securities, rather than stitching together separate administration, legal, and distribution layers. The acquisition of Delio in 2024 extended this architecture by integrating a white-label configuration layer already embedded within large private banks — effectively making Globacap a private markets operating system that sits behind multiple institutional front ends.

Frequently asked questions
Is Globacap a regulated entity, and what permissions does it hold?
Yes. Globacap's subsidiary, Globacap Private Markets Limited, is authorized and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority as a small authorized UK AIFM for private credit funds. The parent company originally developed its compliance architecture inside the FCA's regulatory sandbox, which means its tokenization and digital securities workflows were designed in direct consultation with the regulator (per public record, 2017–2018).
What does the technology platform actually do?
Globacap provides private markets workflow automation: digital cap table management, investor onboarding and KYC/AML compliance, e-voting, and primary issuance of tokenized private securities. It is not a trading venue; the platform manages issuance and register administration. The system has processed over £20 billion in private share and debt issuances across clients including listed corporates and growth-stage private companies (per the firm's official communications).
How does Globacap source the private credit opportunities for its fund management business?
Globacap does not publicly disclose the origination model for its private credit AIFM vehicle. The firm sits at the intersection of a workflow software platform and a fund manager, which suggests deal flow may originate in part from issuers using the administration platform — though this connection has not been explicitly confirmed by the firm. Any direct pipeline inference remains publicly unsubstantiated.
What was the strategic significance of acquiring Delio in 2024?
Delio was a private markets technology firm based in Cardiff that built white-labeled deal rooms and investor portal software for large financial institutions — including Barclays and UBS. Acquiring Delio in 2024 gave Globacap an installed base inside private banks, an additional distribution channel for its issuance infrastructure, and a UK regional office in Wales. It marked a move from a direct-client model toward an embedded-configuration strategy with institutional partners (per the firm, May 2024).
Is Globacap a family office or a venture capital firm?
Neither. Globacap is a fintech infrastructure company and FCA-regulated asset manager. It does not manage a single-family balance sheet and does not operate a venture capital fund. Its venture-linked activity consists of providing cap table and issuance infrastructure to venture-backed companies and their legal advisors, not deploying proprietary venture capital.
Which jurisdictions does Globacap cover?
The firm is headquartered in London and principally covers UK and European private markets. The Delio acquisition added users and institutional relationships concentrated in the UK and continental Europe. Globacap has not publicly disclosed any offices or regulatory registrations in the United States or Asia.
Does Globacap expose investors to digital asset or cryptocurrency risk?
Globacap uses blockchain as a record-keeping and settlement rail for tokenized private securities, but its platform deals in equity and debt instruments, not crypto-assets. The FCA sandbox testing focused on regulatory-compliant digital representations of private company shares and bonds, not unbacked tokens. The firm's fund management activity is in private credit, a traditional alternative asset class.
