Why trust matters here

This market has a trust problem.

No public price. Thin disclosure. Unregistered middlemen. The desk is built to be the boring exception.

Every deal passes
  • Identity & ownership verified
  • Buyers KYC'd + accredited
  • Independent NAV underwriting
  • NDA-gated data room
  • One disclosed fee, at the wire
  • Full audit trail + escrow

FAQ

Common Questions

No. There is no retainer or subscription to receive curated deal flow. We are paid on the success of transactions we help close, so you can evaluate opportunities before committing resources.

You set strategy, vintage, ticket size, and structure preferences. Our engine scores every blind profile against those rules and surfaces only high-fit opportunities, with explainable match context for your IC.

Each opportunity ships as a uniform package: rebuilt NAV context, legal flags, indicative pricing range, and comps, so you can decide quickly whether to go deeper.

You get a concise weekly digest and in-product updates on status changes. No cold blasts: only profiles that clear your mandate thresholds.

You signal interest, we coordinate disclosure and data room access on your timeline, and you can bid with clear process milestones through close.

Sellers are institutional and family-office LPs in commingled private funds, screened by our intake team. You get a rebuilt fact base on every position before committing time.
