Tomas Milar

Tomas Milar is redefining the boundaries of fintech innovation with a long-term vision to build $1 trillion in client assets under administration. As Founder and CEO of Eqvista, he has created one of the fastest-growing equity management platforms globally, offering comprehensive cap table management, equity issuance, and investor reporting solutions.

Central to this vision is the Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation™ platform, the first always-on valuation system for private companies. Built to give founders, CFOs, and CEOs the power to act with confidence, it delivers accurate, up-to-the-minute valuations for capital raising, ESOP issuance, M&A activity, and debt negotiations.

Today, Eqvista serves over 21,000 companies and oversees more than $100 billion in assets, with new valuations increasing monthly. Under Tomas’s leadership, the company has become a vital infrastructure layer for startups, investors, and enterprises seeking agile, founder-friendly financial tools.

Eqvista is also a nationally recognized expert in audit-ready 409A valuation services, with NACVA-certified specialists providing accurate valuations for companies of all sizes, industries, and stages. The platform further offers a full suite of business valuation and compliance services, including investment valuation, startup valuation, ASC 718 reporting, 83(b) elections, stock-based compensation reporting, financial modeling, and more.

Tomas’s entrepreneurial journey began with a strong foundation in finance and economics, enriched by studies in quantitative methods and innovative management across several leading European universities. One of his earliest successes was Startupr, which quickly became one of the largest business incorporation platforms in Hong Kong. He later acquired and scaled IncParadise, a Nevada-based registered agent service, expanding its presence into Wyoming and cementing his reputation for building scalable, compliance-driven enterprises.

Complementing his work at Eqvista is Cheqly, a neobank for startups that Tomas founded to help businesses open FDIC-insured U.S. business accounts remotely. Tailored for early-stage and international companies, Cheqly offers VISA debit cards, ACH payments, and wire transfers, all integrated with cap table and valuation support. The venture has secured a financial license in Hong Kong and is now expanding across Southeast Asia, with regulatory traction in markets such as Singapore. Together, Eqvista and Cheqly form the backbone of Tomas’s broader vision, a unified digital ecosystem that simplifies incorporation, banking, valuation, and funding for modern businesses.

Beyond his ventures, Tomas actively contributes to the startup and fintech communities. He is a mentor at Techstars and Santa Cruz Works, where he guides founders through growth and funding challenges. He also serves as a member of the Forbes Technology Council, sharing insights that reflect his commitment to shaping the future of fintech and entrepreneurship.

Tomas Milar’s entrepreneurial journey is defined by strategic foresight, executional excellence, and a relentless focus on empowering businesses. By building tools that streamline corporate formation, equity valuation, and digital banking, he continues to transform the financial landscape and set new benchmarks for innovation in the private market sector.
