Collaboration Expands The FQ and Rokt’s Commitments to Advancing Women in Motorsports and STEM

NEW YORK, May 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Female Quotient (The FQ), an events and media company with the largest community of women in business, is partnering with Rokt, the global leader in ecommerce technology, to bring a series of transformative FQ Lounges to this year’s F1 Grand Prix races in the U.S. This strategic partnership builds on The FQ and Rokt’s long-standing commitments to ensuring women are at the forefront in traditionally male-dominated fields of motorsports and STEM. The FQ Lounges will offer an engaging experience featuring a state-of-the-art racing simulator designed to ignite women’s passion for sim racing and provide a gateway to STEM fields. The activation will debut at the F1 Miami Grand Prix May 2 – 4 and extend to the Las Vegas race in November.

“Women belong in motorsports and STEM—and we’re making sure they see themselves there,” said Shelley Zalis, Founder and CEO of The Female Quotient. “Together with Rokt, we’re united in our mission to create space, spark ambition, and put women in the driver’s seat. FQ Lounges are a destination at F1 races for meaningful connection and a launchpad for the next generation of women in STEM.”

Rokt’s partnership with Red Bull Racing, which encompasses its Formula 1 team, Sim Racing team, and F1 Academy team, underscores the company’s commitment to fostering diversity. This collaboration has already produced “Driven Beyond Limits,” a video series showcasing the achievements of female engineers at Oracle Red Bull Racing. It also launched “Rokt the Rig”, an ongoing global talent search that has attracted over 2,000 female sim racers from 36 countries. The initiative will culminate in the formation of the inaugural Rokt Red Bull Sim Racing Team, which will compete in iRacing events later this year.

“Our deeper involvement in Formula 1 is driven by our commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for women in STEM and motorsports,” said Elizabeth Buchanan, Chief Commercial Officer at Rokt. “Through our collaboration with The FQ, we’re creating immersive experiences that elevate female talent and spark lasting change, both on and off the track.”

The FQ Lounge will feature speakers from Mercedes-Benz USA, Visa, Inc., Morgan Stanley, HP, and more. To view the full agenda please click here.

Eqvista Launches Company-Sponsored Tender Offers, Expanding Private Market Liquidity Capabilities

New tender offer capabilities connect equity management with real-time valuation data covering approximately 65,000 private companies with a combined estimated value of $9 trillion, laying the groundwork for future secondary marketplace capabilities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eqvista, a leading equity management and valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, today announced the launch of company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, enabling private companies to organize structured liquidity events directly within their equity management platform. The launch also marks a step toward Eqvista’s planned secondary marketplace capabilities.

As companies stay private longer, employees and early investors face limited opportunities to sell their shares. Meanwhile, organizing liquidity events involves complex decisions around pricing, participant eligibility, approvals, and ownership changes.

Eqvista brings these processes together through a company-controlled tender offer workflow, supported by its equity management infrastructure and Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® technology.

“With Eqvista, private companies can help their employees and early investors turn their shares into cash, rewarding them for their contributions to the company,” said Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista. “We already help companies manage ownership and understand their value. Bringing tender offers into the same platform is a natural next step toward connecting equity management, valuation, and liquidity.”

Company-Controlled Tender Offers

Eqvista’s new capabilities allow companies to manage tender offers while maintaining control over participation, transaction terms, and ownership changes.

Key features include:

Cap table integration: Automatically record completed ownership changes.Participant controls: Define eligible buyers and sellers and offer windows.Allocation rules: Set transaction limits, pro rata allocations, and priorities.Integrated approvals: Manage approval requirements and rights of first refusal.Valuation-informed pricing: Reference Eqvista Real-Time Company Valuation® data when evaluating transaction pricing.

By integrating these processes, Eqvista aims to reduce the administrative complexity of organizing liquidity events while helping companies maintain control over their shareholder base.

Building Toward a Secondary Marketplace

Building on its company-sponsored tender offer capabilities, Eqvista plans to expand into secondary marketplace infrastructure designed to support structured, company-approved liquidity programs. By connecting ownership records, real-time valuation data, and private share transactions within one platform, Eqvista aims to make private market liquidity more accessible while allowing companies to maintain control over participation and ownership changes. Further details will be announced as development progresses, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
