About Templum

Templum, Inc. is a financial technology company founded in 2017 by Christopher Pallotta and Vincent Molinari. Based in New York, the firm provides infrastructure for the private markets, aiming to enhance access and liquidity for alternative assets. Christopher Pallotta, the current CEO, has a background that spans venture capital, working with firms like Eniac and Formation 8, and technology commercialization at the MIT Media Lab, where he gained early exposure to blockchain technology. This blend of finance and technology experience informs the company's strategic direction.

The company's core business revolves around providing an operating system for private markets, targeting a wide range of clients including wealth managers, asset managers, private issuers, broker-dealers, and institutional investors. Templum's revenue is generated through its suite of technology and regulatory solutions that digitize and automate workflows across the investment lifecycle. Its business is structured across three main pillars: Templum One, Templum Marketplace Solutions, and the Templum Applications Suite. Through these offerings, the firm provides white-label technology for clients to create their own branded marketplaces, or they can integrate via APIs for a more customized experience.

A key component of Templum's infrastructure is its wholly-owned subsidiary, Templum Markets LLC, a registered broker-dealer and an Alternative Trading System (ATS). This ATS is approved to operate in 53 U.S. states and territories and facilitates the secondary trading of unregistered private securities, addressing the historical illiquidity of this asset class. The platform supports a diverse array of alternative assets, from private equity and credit to real estate and collectibles. Templum One functions as a centralized ecosystem connecting issuers, investors, custodians, and other market participants to streamline access to private investment opportunities. The Templum Applications Suite offers tools to automate back-office processes like investor onboarding, capital call notifications, and shareholder record-keeping, aiming to replace fragmented, manual systems.
