Vinyl Equity, a trusted transfer agent for public companies, announced that it has raised $11.5 million in seed funding. The round was co-led by Index Ventures and Spark Capital with participation from Infinity Ventures, Cambrian Fintech, and other strategic angels. The company also announced that industry veteran Silvio 'Joe' Conte has been named as Head of Partnerships, further strengthening the company's leadership team.

Funding comes as Vinyl leads the transformation of antiquated systems that have not kept pace with innovation in capital markets. Most transfer agents still rely on faxes, PDFs, and manual processes, which is frustrating, slow, and error-prone. Vinyl has built the first cloud-native, API-first transfer agent with automation, real-time visibility, and tools that actually work for modern companies.
