Mohit Bhansali has over 25 years of experience in the securities compliance, corporate finance and technology industry. After working at Tradescape Corp. (acquired by ETRADE Securities in 2002), he pursued a career in securities compliance, which culminated in taking on the role of a securities regulation specialist at Haynes and Boone LLP in New York to support the corporate securities practice group.

While at Haynes and Boone, Mohit provided support and consulted on numerous initial public offerings (IPOs) and alternative public offerings (APOs). He developed a system for tracking complex capitalization stacks for private and public companies which helped facilitate share exchanges in the IPO and AP process.

In 2011, Mohit co-founded Equity Stock Transfer, LLC in New York City with less than five clients and grown the company to nearly 500 private and public company issuers while maintaining nearly the same staff size. He is a firm believer in creating operating efficiencies wherever possible while maintaining the highest standards of compliance.

It is with that credo that during the 2020 pandemic, Mohit conceived of EquiDeFi – a workflow tool for all securities professionals and investors to manage any type of offering exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). By marrying modern software solutions to the arcane securities transaction processes, EquiDeFi was able to create transactional efficiencies and a compliance standard that has never existed before – a boon to issuers and their shareholders alike.

Mohit attended New York University and has also served as a NASDAQ registered representative and has held Series 7, 63 and 55 licenses. He holds a Java programming certification and a Blockchain Law, Regulation and Policy certificate from the University of Nicosia.
