Dream Exchange - Minority-Owned - Stock Exchange in Formation

We believe there is a better way to serve all people using the power of our financial system. By expanding access to a purpose-driven capital market, we are instilling trust, humanity, and fairness into finance.

Our Dream

the problem

Access to public capital markets.

Since the 1990’s there has been a decline in small-to-mid sized IPOs. Today, small IPOs are nearly extinct and fewer companies have access to public capital markets.

The need for small IPOs.

Without a vibrant listing marketplace, the listing gap between large and small companies available to investors increases. Listing on a stock exchange allows more people to build wealth, to build companies, and to build communities creating living-wage, career-path job opportunities.
