STO Foundation, GIGABOOST.AI launch co-branded Buy Side partnership

The STO Foundation and GIGABOOST.AI are teaming up on a co-branded Buy Side platform aimed at helping tokenization founders and issuers find and engage investors more efficiently. The rollout targets a growing tokenized asset market where capital formation now depends on better investor discovery, outreach and relationship management.

Why it matters: - The partnership is designed to make investor discovery and fundraising more structured for tokenized asset issuers, founders, funds and companies. - The platform targets a core pain point in capital formation: matching opportunities with investors whose mandates, stages, check sizes and geographies fit. - The effort could matter across tokenized real-world assets, where issuers need both compliance-ready infrastructure and better go-to-market tools.

What happened: - The STO Foundation, also known as The Tokenized Asset Foundation, and GIGABOOST.AI announced a strategic co-branded partnership on August 24, 2026. - The collaboration supports the development and global rollout of the STO Foundation’s Buy Side platform. - More information about the platform is available at the STO Foundation Buy Side page.

The details: - GIGABOOST.AI is providing investor intelligence and fundraising workflow technology for the platform. - The STO Foundation is contributing its global network, tokenized asset expertise, educational resources and industry relationships. - The platform is built to help users analyze and improve investment materials. - The platform will identify and match investors based on multiple suitability factors. - The workflow includes personalized investor engagement strategies. - The system also supports coordinated outreach and follow-up. - Users will get fundraising pipeline and relationship management tools. - The platform includes financial modeling, valuation and data-room tools. - Engagement tracking and campaign performance insights are part of the offering. - The Buy Side platform is intended to replace static investor lists, generic communications and disconnected spreadsheets with a measurable process. - Users will retain control over communications, relationships and fundraising decisions. - Mark Mariampillai, executive director of the STO Foundation, said access to the right investors remains one of the most practical barriers for issuers and founders in the tokenized asset market. - Varun Sharma, CEO of GIGABOOST.AI, said tokenized assets and private-market opportunities require a more specialized investor acquisition approach than conventional sales prospecting. - The co-branded platform is being developed for real estate, private credit, private equity, infrastructure, investment funds, commodities and other tokenized or digitally represented assets. - Access, functionality and onboarding requirements may vary by jurisdiction, offering structure and applicable securities regulations. - Participation does not guarantee financing or investment. - Issuers and founders remain responsible for compliance with securities, marketing, privacy and financial rules and should consult qualified advisers before raising capital.

Between the lines: - The partnership shows how tokenization is moving beyond product creation and into the harder problem of distribution. - The STO Foundation is pairing its ecosystem role with software that helps translate market interest into actual investor conversations. - GIGABOOST.AI gains a sector-specific channel into tokenized assets and private markets, where generic fundraising tools may be less effective.

What's next: - The STO Foundation and GIGABOOST.AI expect to share more details on platform access, issuer onboarding and program availability as the rollout continues. - The broader mission includes supporting education, adoption and development of real-world asset tokenization, digital securities and tokenized capital markets. - Both organizations frame the launch as part of a wider effort to improve investor discovery, communication and relationship management as the market expands.
