(Isstories Editorial):- London, England Feb 17, 2026 (Issuewire.com) – EquityMatch, the London-based hub for private market connectivity, today announced the launch of EquityMatch 2.0. This upgraded AI-backed networking ecosystem is designed to bridge the gap between investors, founders, mentors, advisors, and service providers through intelligent automation and data-driven discovery.
