Turning holders into customers, and customers into holders. We advise the companies, foundations, and issuers building businesses where the people who use you also own a stake in you.
The Insumer Model™ provides business consulting services and financial consultation in the field of digital securities to companies, blockchain foundations, and token and security-token issuers worldwide. Engage us for a discovery call to scope the work.
You get advice from someone who has actually built and operated this, not a deck about it.
A thirty-year veteran of global markets who traded currencies and macro at Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and Standard Chartered, Douglas is a pioneer of SEC-registered security tokens. He served as Chief Marketing and Chief Business Officer for the first SEC-registered security token IPO, which raised more than 83 million dollars from over 7,300 investors across 74 countries, and helped build and run the regulated infrastructure behind it, spanning a broker-dealer, an alternative trading system (ATS), and a transfer agent.
He then went and built the tooling for the holder-first economy: The Insumer Model and its InsumerAPI (proving on-chain ownership without exposing a wallet), TokenCapStack (blockchain-native cap-table management), and the SkyeMeta recognition network. He co-hosts Old Men, New Money, writes The Bridge newsletter for equity investors, and is the author of The Insumer Model and the Your Equity in Your Pocket books.
That is the rare combination behind every engagement: the operator who ran the regulated plumbing, the builder who shipped the products, and the author who wrote the playbook.

Two practices, one thesis: the strongest businesses treat their customers and their holders as the same people.
We help leadership teams design and operate a business where ownership and usage reinforce each other, and turn that thesis into a concrete plan.
We provide financial consultation in the field of digital securities, from how an offering is structured to how holders are recognized and rewarded once it is live.
A simple, senior-led engagement. You talk to the people doing the work.
We start with a scoping conversation about your business, your holders, and what you are trying to build.
We agree scope and terms, then deliver a strategy tailored to your business consulting or digital-securities goals.
We stay on to help you put the plan to work, from launch through holder engagement.
Tell us about your business, your holders, and what you want to build with The Insumer Model™. We reply within 24 to 48 hours.
