# Our Purpose

Our economy and its future is defined by innovation. Fueling this innovation is human capital, which has become far more powerful as ownership gets democratized and professionals become owners. As founders, as investors and also as employees.

Ownership is important. Ownership creates alignment. It also drives compounding, exponential returns. Most progressive enterprises recognize this. Our purpose is to partner with them to seed, build, harness and **Unlock the Power of Ownership!**

## Our Story

Qapita was started by Ravi, Lakshman and Vamsee, a Banker-Investor-Technologist trio, who have known each other for a couple of decades and have followed each other's journeys becoming good friends. Each of them comes with over 2 decades of experience in investing in startups and building products at scale.

Thus, having lived through the challenges in the private markets and with a deep understanding of how the sector operates, Ravi, Lakshman and Vamsee came together to setup Qapita and found themselves a mission to spend the second half of their careers.

Qapita seeks to build rails for the private markets by offering companies a platform of record for managing ownership, an efficient equity workflow management and a structured marketplace to offer liquidity to stakeholders. Qapita aspires to empower every equity owner and unlock the power of ownership!
