Invest Caribbean Unveils AI Capital Exchange — The World’s First AI-Powered Global Debt Capital Platform
Guyana-born, US-based Caribbean immigrant entrepreneur and ICN Group founder, Felicia J. Persaud, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone for the region and its global diaspora with the soft launch of AI Capital Exchange - the world’s first AI-powered debt capital platform designed to connect institutional investors, lenders, investment agencies, and qualified borrowers across multiple continents.
The platform, accessible at aicapitalexchange.net, was conceptualized, built, and developed entirely by Persaud over four months using artificial intelligence. The result is a first-of-its-kind system that brings cross-border capital matching into the AI era.
In an international financial landscape where emerging markets - including the Caribbean - face persistent barriers to affordable debt financing, AI Capital Exchange aims to rewrite the narrative.
“AI Capital Exchange is proof that we can build solutions that reshape the global financial landscape - starting from our community,” Persaud said.
A Platform Designed To Unlock Debt Capital Across Borders
AI Capital Exchange pre-qualifies borrowers and intelligently matches them with lenders in need of verified, high-quality deal flow. Borrowers can apply for:
Commercial real estate financing
Renewable energy financing
Equipment financing
Business expansion loans
Government-linked and infrastructure projects
Tech financing
And other structured debt capital
Lenders and investors can join to access AI-organized, pre-screened opportunities, while national and regional investment agencies can use the platform to expand visibility for investment programs and attract foreign capital.
A Transformational Milestone Built From The Ground Up
What makes this innovation historic is not simply its technology - but the journey behind it. Persaud, a Caribbean immigrant with no traditional tech background, built the entire platform herself using AI tools, research, strategic design, and unwavering discipline.
“This platform was built in silence, through long nights and hundreds of hours of work,” Persaud shared. “It’s a testament to what immigrants, women, and non-tech founders can create when given the tools and the opportunity.”
The platform has also been officially submitted to the India AI Global Impact Challenge 2026, signaling its potential as a high-impact global innovation.
Now Live In Pilot
The platform is now live in pilot mode, inviting:
Diaspora entrepreneurs
Global investors
Institutional lenders
National investment agencies
Developers
And early testers
to explore the system, submit deals, and offer feedback as the platform refines.
