1. A share data allocation (SDA) computing device comprising at least one processor in communication with at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor configured to:
transmit a link to a plurality of direct-share participant (DSP) computing devices associated with a plurality of DSPs, wherein the plurality of DSPs are a first set of individual investors identified as eligible for directed shares by an issuer of a public offering;
provide an embedded frame for a broker-dealer application, wherein the embedded frame is configured to provide a communication channel between the SDA computing device and a plurality of interest-based participant (IBP) computing devices via the broker-dealer application, wherein the plurality of IBP computing devices are associated with a plurality of IBPs who are a second set of individual investors identified as suitable for the public offering based on past investment activity of the plurality of IBPs;
receive, from at least a portion of the plurality of the DSP computing devices, DSP request data indicating an amount of money each DSP is willing to invest in the public offering;
receive, from at least a portion of the plurality of IBP computing devices and based at least in part upon interaction between the portion of the plurality of IBP computing devices and the embedded frame, IBP request data indicating an amount of money each IBP is willing to invest in the public offering;
apply one or more mapping algorithms to at least one of the DSP request data or the IBP request data to calculate a preliminary allocation of a total amount of assets among the DSPs and the IBPs; and
transmit, to one or more of the plurality of DSP computing devices or the plurality of IBP computing devices, a notification associated with an allocation in the public offering to at least one individual investor, wherein the allocation includes an adjustment to the preliminary allocation to the at least one individual investor based upon a join operator.
