On joining HUBX as Chairman, John Winter commented:

“This is a very exciting time for the financial industry. The capital raising process, which for many companies is still as cumbersome and inefficient as it was when I started my career over 30 years ago, is finally starting to fundamentally change. We work in an increasingly connected environment where small and large institutions are engaging actively with new fintech providers to source investment opportunities and to deploy capital. The HUBX team brings together a unique blend of financial expertise, data science and technology to the private capital markets. HUBX leverages data to better match investors with opportunities and streamlines the necessary paperwork in order to close transactions faster. I’m excited to join HUBX to help drive this transformational journey and vision.”

Axel Coustere and Stephen Ong, co-founders of HUBX, said:

“We are delighted to welcome John to the team. Few people are as accomplished as John when it comes to the capital markets and investment banking. His deep understanding of corporate finance, deal making and managing growth across geographies, products and regulators will be invaluable as we evolve our solutions, scale our business and roll out the
HUBX vision. We are excited to be working closely with John to help shape the private capital markets of tomorrow.”
