Digital Securities Consulting

What Digital Securities Consulting does

Digital Securities Consulting LLC (DSC) is a privately held, boutique advisory firm founded in 2016 and based in Larchmont, New York, that combines traditional financial services expertise with blockchain and digital asset domain knowledge. The firm targets three client cohorts: blockchain innovators preparing capital raises, established firms and private equity investors seeking blockchain-enabled valuation enhancement, and investors/broker-dealers requiring sophisticated monitoring and execution tooling. Services span capital raise preparation (financial modeling, investor presentations, valuation analysis), strategy and regulatory analysis, placement agent services for private market capital raises including tokenized equity, M&A support, and AI-driven business intelligence including NLP-based news monitoring and pre-IPO signals.

DSC's core technology is an AI-driven business intelligence layer (NLP tools scanning thousands of news sources and blogs for sentiment, heat maps, and trading signals) embedded inside consulting engagements rather than sold as a standalone product. Securities transactions are executed exclusively through partner broker-dealers — GB Capital Markets (placement agent), INTE Securities (FINRA member execution), and NextSeed Securities (private share trade execution) — with the founder holding registered representative status at INTE.

Revenue derives from a combination of project-based and retainer professional services fees plus transaction-based compensation from placement agent activities. Go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, relying on direct outreach, referrals, and founder-authored thought leadership distributed via the DSC website/blog, email newsletter, and third-party syndication (e.g., TabbFORUM). The firm operates with 1-10 employees and serves multi-jurisdictional engagements across the US, UK, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, and India.
