A research-driven brokerage for negotiated secondaries in category-defining private tech.

We run a small number of relationship-led deals where the company is strong, the seller is credible, and the price makes sense. We research and select the companies we cover, then secure allocations before they reach the broader market.

Two Products

One firm. Two ways in.

01 / Brokerage

Relationship-led. Research-first.

Direct secondaries at low, transparent fees0–2% on the buyer side. Don't see the company you want? We source allocations on demand: tell us the name and the size, and we work our seller network to secure it.

I.

We vet both sides

Before we show an offering, we verify the seller and the shares. Before we introduce a buyer to a seller, we verify the buyer — so no one's time is wasted on either side.

II.

Relationships with upside

Late-stage companies sourced at real discounts to the last round. Great businesses on sensible entry terms.

III.

Transparency of shares

Most of our deals are direct shares on the cap table. When we use an SPV, it's single-layer, backed by a US GP, with clear line of sight to the underlying stock.

Name your target.
