Background

About Lance Woodson

Planet Wealth is a capital-raising platform for businesses with traction. We help founders raise from the people who already believe in them: their customers, fans, and communities, through Reg CF, Reg A+, and Reg D offerings, powered by an SEC- and FINRA-registered funding portal and broker-dealer. No marketplace. No competing for attention alongside hundreds of other deals. Your raise. Your investors. Your terms.As CEO, I have led Planet Wealth to $20 million in Series A capital and built the infrastructure to back that mission: a registered funding portal, a registered broker-dealer, the DealRocket Suite for end-to-end offer preparation and investor management, and a white-label investment portal acquisition. We operate from our corporate headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, and a capital markets office in Palm Beach, Florida.I am a capital markets entrepreneur with 30 years of experience spanning technology, finance, and strategic innovation. I co-invented "Systems and Methods for Wall Street in the Cloud"(U.S. Serial No. 17/860,095), a novel approach to delivering capital markets infrastructure through a cloud-native architecture. Before Planet Wealth, I built and scaled technology organizations across enterprise networking, data center operations, and cloud computing, including founding Tier Networking, which I led to a successful exit, and a member of the founding team at CSW Net, which built Arkansas's largest internet-access network before its exit.As a World Economic Forum Strategic Intelligence Contributor, I collaborate with the Global Innovators community on open-finance regulation and responsible AI in capital markets, and I publish insight pieces on WEF digital channels spotlighting inclusive fintech. I am a Founding Member of TechTO, where I source and evaluate high-growth startups and advise founders on cross-border capital formation. I host Fortunes of the Brave, Planet Wealth's podcast for entrepreneurs raising capital on their own terms.
