FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - Caribbean-born entrepreneur and media executive Felicia J. Persaud has achieved a groundbreaking milestone for the region and its global diaspora with the creation and soft launch of 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 - AI Capital Exchange (aicapitalexchange.net) - was conceptualized, built, and developed entirely by Persaud over four months, using artificial intelligence to power a first-of-its-kind cross-border capital-matching system.
In a global financing environment where emerging markets, including the Caribbean, often struggle to access affordable debt capital, the platform aims to level the playing field for entrepreneurs and governments alike.
“AI Capital Exchange is proof that we can build solutions that reshape the global financial landscape — starting from our community,” said Persaud.
The platform pre-qualifies borrowers and matches them with lenders for:
Commercial real estate
• Renewable energy
• Equipment financing
• Business expansion
• Tech financing
• Government-linked projects
• Infrastructure capital
Investors and lenders gain access to AI-organized, pre-screened deal flow, while investment agencies can showcase national investment programs to attract new foreign capital.
What makes the achievement unprecedented is not only the technology — but the builder behind it.
Persaud, a Caribbean immigrant with no formal tech background, developed the entire platform herself using artificial intelligence, strategic automation, and unrelenting determination.
“This platform was built in silence - through long nights and hundreds of hours of work,” Persaud said. “It is a testament to what immigrants, women, and non-tech founders can create when given the tools and the opportunity.”
AI Capital Exchange has also been formally submitted to the India AI Global Impact Challenge 2026, signaling its potential as a global-impact innovation.
