Our Mission
The capital gap is real. We exist to close it.
Entrepreneurs in the small and mid-sized business segment face growing operational pressures. Too often, access to growth capital is determined not by the quality of a business — but by who you know and which institutions pick up the phone.
Akoma Capital was built to change that — connecting qualified businesses with the right capital, faster, with a specific commitment to expanding access for underrepresented founders and communities.

Our Process
Purpose-built to eliminate the friction that slows traditional deal processes. Structured workflows, secure data rooms, and compliance support at every stage.
Fee Structure
Akoma's primary revenue is a success fee charged at closing — meaning we only get paid when you do. An initial assessment fee applies at engagement and is partially refundable if no dealcloses within the 8-week window.
All payments are managed via escrow with secure payment processor integration. Retainer plus reduced success fee arrangements may be available for repeat or preferred clients on a case-by-case basis.
Platform & Security
Akoma's platform is purpose-built for secure deal origination — with encryption, compliance controls, and a SOC2 roadmap designed to meet the standards of institutional capital providers.
Secure Data Rooms
End-to-end encryption at rest and in transit. All deal materials, financials, and communications housed in secure, access-controlled environments.
Role-Based Access
Granular permissions ensure the right people see the right information at every stage — buyers, sellers, advisors, and Akoma staff in controlled environments.
SOC2 Roadmap
Akoma is actively pursuing SOC2 compliance — the institutional standard for security, availability, and confidentiality in financial technology platforms.
KYC / AML Compliance
Standardized KYC and AML workflows for all parties. State-specific licensing, contract templates, and anti-fraud safeguards built into every transaction workflow.
Escrow Integration
All payment flows managed via escrow, integrated with secure processors. Funds flow fully coordinated through close with preferred escrow and legal partners.
Leadership
Deep capital markets expertise and institutional investment experience, united by a shared commitment to expanding access to growth financing for underserved business owners.
