Ownership, funding and revenue model
51% ownership and joint funding
EquityRoom is operated by EquityRoom Pty Ltd, in which Scalare holds a 51% equity interest. Founder Tim Griffiths holds the remaining 49%, in addition to his existing role as a Partner of Scalare.
Scalare and Scalare Partner Executive Partner, Tim Griffiths have jointly funded development of the platform to date from existing resources. According to the company, no further material funding is required to operate and grow EquityRoom over the next 12 months.
Subscription revenue
EquityRoom earns subscription revenue from companies using the platform, with pricing based on the stage of the company and the features used. Scalare expects the platform to add a scalable, recurring revenue stream to its products and services business.
The company also expects EquityRoom to strengthen its relationships with founders across its ecosystem, including companies raising capital through InHouse Ventures, Fishburners and the Australian Technologies Competition, and potential Scalare investee companies.
The Fishburners acquisition completed in June 2026 widened the founder community that EquityRoom can be offered to, bringing a network of more than 40,000 founders into the Scalare ecosystem.
One caveat applies. EquityRoom is not expected to have a material impact on Scalare’s financial results in the current financial year, and the announcement includes no revenue forecasts.
How EquityRoom works: Organise, Prepare, Raise, Grow
A virtual data room is a secure online space where a company stores documents for investors to review during a raise. Founders typically assemble shared drives, spreadsheets, email threads, document links and standalone tools for this purpose, and EquityRoom is designed to replace that collection.
For investors, a single environment means due diligence material sits in one controlled place rather than across multiple channels. EquityRoom is structured around four stages of the fundraising journey.
| Stage | What founders can do | Investor relevance |
|---|---|---|
| Organise | Organise documentation within a secure environment | Material is held in one secure place |
| Prepare | Use readiness and AI-assisted tools to help identify gaps and prepare material before investors are given access | Material is prepared before investors are given access |
| Raise | Invite investors through secure links, require confidentiality agreements, control access to individual documents, manage investor questions and monitor engagement | Investors access material through secure links and confidentiality agreements, and can ask questions |
| Grow | Use the platform for cap table management and SAFEs, employee options and vesting, share certificates and shareholder communications | Equity records and shareholder communications continue on the same platform after a round has closed |
Customer proof and management view
H2X Global uses EquityRoom in its current raise
H2X Global is one of the companies currently using EquityRoom, which it is using to manage its current capital raise. Scalare Executive Director Giles Bourne is a non-executive director of H2X Global.
Antony Tolfts, CEO, H2X Global
“I value the ability to manage multiple investor groups within a single setup, with appropriate access controls, rather than having to establish and administer separate data rooms. It makes managing the process considerably simpler while still giving us visibility over how investors are engaging with our information…”
Tolfts also stated that EquityRoom “represented the best value when we compared it with the alternatives.”
Founder pedigree and strategy
EquityRoom was founded by Tim Griffiths, a technology entrepreneur and investor. He previously founded Xref and took the company to an ASX listing, spent five years at Benchmark Capital in the US and London, and has been a Partner at Scalare Partners since 2021.
