The following article is an executive summary of our vision deck: Driving Digital Transformation in the Alternative Markets.
As investor demand for private market access expands, the need for institutional-grade infrastructure has never been more urgent. Yet much of the industry remains mired in outdated processes – PDF forms, manual workflows, fragmented systems. Corastone is changing that.
Corastone is not a marketplace or a product wrapper. It is the infrastructure layer that enables modern, digital engagement across the alternative investment lifecycle. Purpose-built for scalability, integration and control, Corastone provides the secure, shared fabric the private markets require to operate at full potential.
Purpose-Built for Scale
Private markets are increasingly central to portfolio construction – but the infrastructure supporting them has not kept pace. Corastone addresses this gap with a platform designed for high-volume, straight-through processing across capital calls, subscriptions, transfers, tenders and more. Participants can manage more volume, engage more counterparties and support more complex products – all without adding operational burden.
At the heart of the platform is a permissioned blockchain architecture, providing a shared foundation for data integrity, auditability and workflow automation. By embracing distributed ledger technology as the technical foundation of our platform, we enable greater accuracy, lower costs and improved transparency.
Focused on Infrastructure – and Nothing Else
Corastone’s singular focus on infrastructure is one of our defining characteristics. We don’t compete with GPs, distributors or advisors, nor do we repackage products or insert ourselves into investment decisions. Instead, our platform provides the tools those stakeholders need to work together more efficiently.
This neutral stance creates trust. And that trust, in turn, enables Corastone to serve as a connective layer across the entire private market ecosystem – from fund managers and administrators to broker-dealers, custodians and wealth platforms.
One Connection, Full Access
Onboarding new products or partners in the private markets has traditionally been slow and expensive. Corastone simplifies this through a single integration that provides access to a broad and growing network of participants.
Whether firms prefer API-based connections or more traditional file-based workflows, Corastone meets them where they are – without the need for duplicative processes or bespoke builds. The result is a platform that serves as the fabric of the private markets, connecting the ecosystem with efficiency, consistency and scale.
Operational Clarity and Control
With Corastone, the private investment lifecycle is no longer defined by opaque processes or delayed updates. The platform introduces consistent, repeatable workflows that provide real-time visibility into transactions, investor elections, fund activity and more.
By standardizing structured data across participants, Corastone reduces friction and creates alignment. Firms retain control over their records while collaborating on a shared system that promotes accuracy, transparency and responsiveness.
Ready for What’s Next
Private markets are dynamic by nature: products evolve, client expectations shift, regulatory landscapes change. Corastone’s infrastructure is built to support this natural evolution.
Our platform’s modular architecture gives participants the flexibility to adopt new workflows over time – without overhauling their entire tech stack. Each party maintains its own node and records, ensuring independence, while our shared ledger facilitates collaboration. The foundation is durable, but not rigid.
Conclusion: Driving Digital Transformation
Corastone is helping reshape how private markets operate – not by disrupting the current players, but by giving them the infrastructure they need to perform at scale.
With a clear focus, neutral posture and technology built for the long term, Corastone is enabling more connected, efficient and resilient private markets. It’s the infrastructure layer this industry has long needed – and now, it’s here.
