What Kore does
Kore (formerly KoreConX, rebranded August 2024; founded 2016, headquartered at 1 World Trade Center, New York) is a privately held infrastructure platform serving regulated intermediaries in the JOBS Act private capital markets. The company sells to FINRA-registered broker-dealers, SEC-registered transfer agents, real estate sponsors, and online capital formation platform operators, providing a unified white-label stack for executing transactions end-to-end under RegCF, RegD, and RegA+. The core platform is the KoreInside Infrastructure, built on KoreChain — a permissioned blockchain consisting of KoreNodes and KoreProtocol — with functional layers covering compliance, capital markets, transfer agent services, investor relations, minute book, cap table, and portfolio management, plus integration layers for enterprise data, user directory, and connectivity.
The product surface is organized as named modules on top of the core: KoreTransfer (SEC-registered transfer agent with shareholder recordkeeping, dividend/DRIP distributions, and K-1/tax form delivery), KoreIssuance (deal-room and offering-setup tooling), KoreID (identity and compliance infrastructure with a free iOS/Android mobile app acting as an investor passport), KorePay (payment rails with a production-grade stablecoin built on KoreChain via the TAPP Engine partnership), KoreGPT (an AI assistant available on Kore.inc and as a Custom GPT on OpenAI's ChatGPT), TradeCheck (state-by-state resale compliance for unlisted securities, excluding California), and a Compliance Desk tailored to FINRA broker-dealers. The stack is offered as a white-label, quote-based annual subscription (KoreID Mobile App is free), with additional monetization from per-transaction fees on capital raises, tokenization services, managed compliance services, and premium AI insights.
Kore monetizes the platform through a hybrid model combining annual SaaS subscriptions, transaction fees on capital raises and tokenization, managed compliance services (KYC/AML, accreditation, suitability), transfer agent services, and AI-driven insights via KoreGPT. Go-to-market combines enterprise/inside sales (with a HubSpot 'Book a Call' funnel), channel partners through the KoreInside Global Ecosystem (10 new strategic partners added in 2026), white-label/OEM deployment for real estate sponsors operating under their own brand, community-led content marketing via the KoreLibrary, KoreGlossary, KoreTalkX podcast, and KoreSummit events, and event-driven outreach at conferences such as Chicago AI Week Web3Con, LSI Emerging Medtech Summit, and Arcview Cannabis Investment Summit. To date, Kore has raised approximately $65M cumulatively across a $15M Digital Securities Offering (2019), a ~$10M round in 2022, and a $40M Series B managed by Weild & Co. in March 2026. The company operates globally across the US, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, Singapore, India, New Zealand, Taiwan, and China, is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified, and is GDPR, CCPA, and PIPEDA compliant.

Kore competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Securitize: Securitize is a leading tokenized-securities and RWA platform with issuance, transfer agent, compliance, and secondary-trading infrastructure. It is a direct competitor to Kore's KoreChain/KoreTransfer tokenization and SEC-registered transfer-agent stack.
- Wefunder: Wefunder is a major RegCF platform with investor onboarding, KYC/AML, and capital-raising tooling for issuers. It competes with Kore's KoreID/KoreIssuance stack for online capital formation workflows.
- Republic: Republic operates a multi-jurisdiction private-markets platform spanning RegA+, RegD, RegCF, and crypto token offerings with built-in compliance, KYC, and secondary trading. It directly competes with Kore on cross-border private-market infrastructure and investor onboarding.
- DealMaker: DealMaker provides tech-enabled capital-raising infrastructure for RegA+, RegD, and other exempt offerings, with built-in compliance, investor onboarding, and white-label tooling. It is one of Kore's closest direct competitors in regulated private-market issuance platforms.
- StartEngine: StartEngine is one of the largest RegCF and RegA+ platforms in the US, providing investor onboarding, compliance, and capital-raising tooling to issuers. It overlaps Kore's broker-dealer- and platform-operator-facing infrastructure offerings in online capital formation.
- Manhattan Street Capital: Manhattan Street Capital is a RegA+ focused capital-raising platform with broker-dealer partnerships, KYC/AML, and investor management services. It is a direct comparable for Kore's real-estate sponsor and platform-operator offerings under JOBS Act exemptions.
- tZERO: tZERO operates an ATS for trading digital securities plus tokenization and issuance infrastructure. Its combination of regulated ATS, security tokens, and transfer-agent-adjacent services directly overlaps Kore's permissioned blockchain and ATS integration play.
Broad incumbents
- Carta: Carta is the dominant cap-table, fund-administration, and private-market infrastructure platform serving issuers, investors, and funds. Kore's cap-table, transfer-agent, and investor-relations modules compete with a subset of Carta's broader stack, making it a broad incumbent peer.
Emerging players
- Issuance: Issuance is a digital-securities issuance and management platform with on-chain cap tables and investor management. It is an emerging peer that overlaps Kore's KoreIssuance/KoreChain capabilities for tokenized private securities.
- Polymath: Polymath is an early-mover in security-token issuance infrastructure with on-chain compliance tools. It overlaps Kore's KoreChain/KoreToken/KoreProtocol tokenization layer but with a narrower compliance and transfer-agent footprint than Kore's full stack.
