CAPITAL MARKETS GATEWAY (CMG)

Capital Markets Gateway (CMG) is a financial technology firm that is modernizing the equity capital markets (ECM).

CMG connects investors and underwriters via a neutral platform that delivers integrated ECM data and analytics, transparency, and workflow efficiencies. Providing a digital system of record for firm-wide deal activity, CMG helps clients make more timely, better-informed decisions. Launched in 2017 by a team of ECM practitioners, the CMG platform is currently relied upon by nearly 100 buy-side firms representing $20 trillion in AUM and 15 investment banks.

In June 2020, CMG announced its Series B investment of $25 million from top financial firms such as Barclays, Citi, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, and Morgan Stanley (see here). CMG’s goal is to alleviate pain points resulting from disparate solutions, fragmented data, and frenzied communication. CMG’s DataLab product solves data analytics, while CMG’s XC platform establishes connectivity between buy- and sell-side firms.

CMG’s team is predominantly located in the USA, and since 2019 CMG has also been expanding its team in Brno, Czechia.

The office in Brno is operated by OAK'S LAB.
