HOW IT WORKS

A vetted, human-curated path from signal to close.

Two flows — one for businesses raising, franchising, or selling; one for investors deploying capital. Both share the same spine: vetting, profile, match, message, close.

FOR INVESTORS

What the flow looks like on your side.

  1. 01
    Apply
    Tell us your thesis, stages you cover, expertise, and ticket size. We review before we onboard.
  2. 02
    Get verified
    Accreditation status, identity, and any firm affiliation are confirmed. Profiles stay private to matched counterparties.
  3. 03
    Browse curated matches
    A ranked feed of businesses that fit your thesis — no paid boosts, no infinite scroll.
  4. 04
    Message under a pseudonym
    Start every conversation anonymously. Reveal your real identity only if and when you want to.
  5. 05
    Bid in sealed auctions
    If a business invites you to auction, submit a sealed bid with terms. Only the business sees all bids after close.
FOR BUSINESSES

What the flow looks like on your side.

  1. 01
    Apply
    Share the basics: stage, what you're looking for, transaction type, and any docs that back your story.
  2. 02
    Our team builds your profile
    After approval, an analyst turns your intake into a clean, consistent listing. You review before it goes live.
  3. 03
    Meet matched investors
    We rank investors against your profile. You see every one who’s been surfaced — and anyone who reaches out.
  4. 04
    Talk on your terms
    Both sides start anonymous. You’re the one who decides when to reveal the company name.
  5. 05
    Run a sealed auction
    When you’re ready, you set equity and terms. Admin invites, auction runs, sealed bids arrive. You pick the winner.

How matches actually get made.

SCORING INPUTS
  • · Overlap between business fields and investor expertise
  • · Business stage vs. investor stage preferences
  • · Transaction type vs. investor goal
  • · Partner type vs. investor goal
  • · Location (tiebreaker)
WHAT ADMINS CAN’T DO

Admins cannot pin, boost, or suppress matches. Ranking comes from the scoring algorithm alone. Admins can audit the inputs (to fix the algorithm) but never override the output for a specific deal.
