Factors that led Carlos Domingo to find Securitize
Carlos Domingo has had a clear interest in blockchain technology and looked forward to improving traditional financial markets very early on. He had an idea that founding SPiCE VC, a tokenized VC fund would lead to the development of a blockchain application, which can transform global markets in a way that would be advantageous to everyone. Once Carlos could issue and manage compliant securities, there was a huge demand for the blockchain and others wanted to use their technology.
This tremendous demand was what led Carlos Domingo to create a new company, which is Securitize. The company is focused on modernizing the infrastructure of financial markets using blockchain technology. Carlos also believes that they can improve efficiencies and transparency for transactions in most major categories of capital markets.
The company was founded in 2017, with business offices in New York, San Francisco, and London, alongside a development team in Tel Aviv. Though small, the team remains focused on maintaining its lead in product development and execution. With over 25 years of experience, Carlos Domingo leads the way in developing compliant digital securities platforms that are transforming how companies raise capital, manage investors, and leverage digital assets.
However, before his groundbreaking work with the Secutize company, Carols Domingo served in prominent roles as CEO of Research & Development at Telefonica. There, he worked on creating cutting-edge advancements and pioneering technology at companies such as Telefonica, which happens to be one of the largest telecom companies in the world. It was later when he was serving as the CEO of New Business and Innovation, that he discovered an interest in spearheading blockchain adoption through the tokenization of traditional markets.
