The New and First Ever Minority Stock Exchange, Dream Exchange

Setting a new record, Dream Exchange and Cadiz Capital Holding LLC, in a partnership have created the first-ever minority stock exchange. The purpose of the Dream Exchange is to become a new stock exchange dedicated to small business capital formation and diversity which will allow investors empower innovators and emerging businesses in a new way.

Cadiz Capital Holding LLC is a minority-owned private equity firm that has partnered with Dream Exchange to the majority owner in the new exchange. In the history of the US stock exchange of 230 years, this will be the first majority Black-owned stock exchange. The private equity firm is focused on North American companies that have enterprise values of between $250 million to $1 billion and are able to pursue larger transactions and partnerships with “like-minded” firms.

The partnership of both firms is solidified by decades of expertise. They have also managed to forge a greater alternative for middle-market companies, as well as investors seeking to have liquidity and diversity.

The goal of Dream Exchange is to create a space that allows the general investing public to invest in small and emerging businesses early enough. That way, there will be more opportunities for wealth creation in the US through the American capital markets, and in more liquid and diverse platforms.  

Dream Exchange also intends to extend its access to the capital market system to ensure that more individuals and businesses have better access to the system. The new exchange also plans to list new companies with witty innovations and ideas at their early stage for interested investors to see and invest in them at their early stages.

The Dream Exchange has also put in efforts to educate Members of the Congress to see the need for venture securities and seek ways to best protect the capital market system, as well as create more opportunities and room for small businesses to thrive in the post-pandemic environment.

“The Dream Exchange is a real solution to the long-term systemic issues plaguing our country by providing a marketplace where money flows to any and all organizations that help us to survive better as a society,” Dream stock Exchange founder and CEO Joe Cecala said.
