Tokenizing Equity: Joris Delanoue - Building Fairmint and the Future of On-Chain Capital Markets | Ep 1129

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas sits down with Joris Delanoue, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Fairmint, a pioneering FinTech company transforming how startups raise and manage capital through blockchain-based equity.

Joris shares the personal frustrations that inspired Fairmint—his challenges with illiquid investments, limited access to ownership, and the outdated structure of private fundraising. He explains how Fairmint was built to democratize financial upside by embedding startup equity directly on-chain, making ownership more transparent, efficient, and inclusive.

From navigating U.S. securities regulations to earning SEC registration as a transfer agent, Joris recounts the company’s journey balancing innovation and compliance. He also reveals how Fairmint’s Open Cap Format is redefining cap table management across the industry—creating a new, open standard for digital equity.

Finally, Joris offers his vision for the future: a world where blockchain blurs the line between private and public markets, automating processes, cutting costs, and unlocking liquidity for founders, investors, and employees alike.

If you’re passionate about the intersection of finance, regulation, and decentralized technology, this conversation offers a rare glimpse into how on-chain infrastructure is reshaping capital markets from the ground up.
