About GECA The Global Equity Crowdfunding Alliance (GECA) is a global think tank and industry alliance uniting equity crowdfunding platforms, regulators, and innovators to enable compliant cross-border investment. What We Do We convene the world's leading voices in equity crowdfunding to tackle the biggest barriers to borderless capital flow: 🎯 Think Tank Leadership Our flagship Architects of Change series brings together platform CEOs, regulators, and innovators for strategic roundtable discussions that shape industry frameworks and policy. 🤝 Industry Collaboration We unite platforms across jurisdictions to develop standards for interoperability, reusable KYC, and cross-border deal syndication—enabling collaboration, not competition. ⚖️ Policy Advocacy We engage regulators globally to advance frameworks that enable compliant cross-border investment while protecting investors and respecting regulatory sovereignty. 📊 Research & Standards We publish industry research, develop best practices, and establish the standards that allow platforms to work together across borders. Our Reach - **15 Steering Committee members** across 4 continents - **80+ member organizations** including platforms, regulators, and service providers - **Active in:** Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, South America Our Approach GECA operates independently of any single platform or jurisdiction. We don't build technology or compete with platforms—we convene stakeholders, facilitate collaboration, and advocate for the policies and standards that make borderless equity crowdfunding possible.
