Velmark
Contested value, mediated

The price is the dispute. Mediate it.

Velmark is an AI-mediated price discovery platform for private shares and disputed valuations. When shareholders, co-founders, partners, or ex-spouses cannot agree on a fair value — and going to court feels slow, biased, or expensive — Velmark sets up a structured auction around the contested number itself.

  • Bidders post terms, not just numbers.
  • An AI neutral scores, ranks, and explains every position.
  • Outcome is a defensible, audit-ready price — end to end.

Faster than litigation. More rigorous than a single valuation report. Visible end to end.

The intervention

A secondaries marketplace can match buyers. It cannot mediate the number.

Generalist secondary marketplaces hand you a list of counterparties and let the two sides anchor on a single price. Velmark is built for the harder case — where the dispute is the number itself.

Velmark treats the price as something to mediate: every offer, counter-offer and comparable is scored, ranked, and surfaced so the parties — or their counsel — see exactly why the number landed where it did.

How a room runs

Three steps from a contested number to a defensible one.

A Velmark room is structured, not improvised. Frame the question, post terms, converge on a midpoint — every step captured in the audit trail.

01

Step 01

Open the room and frame the contested number

The parties agree on the question, the comparables universe, and the deadline. Velmark sets up a private room, invites vetted bidders, and locks the dataset so no late mover can shift the basis after bids are in.

  • One share class, one transaction, one number to defend
  • Bidders are counterparty-checked before they are invited
  • Sealed compartments keep every offer private until the reveal
02

Step 02

Bidders post terms

Each bidder posts an amount AND the reasoning behind it — the multiple, the comparator set, the discount applied. Sealed compartments prevent groupthink anchoring on a single number before the field is visible.

  • Every bid carries a defensible basis, not just a price
  • Counters and revisions are logged in the ledger, not whispered
  • No party sees another offer until the reveal window opens
03

Step 03

Neutralize and converge on the midpoint

A neutral AI scorer ranks every bid on comparability, recency, conviction, and risk, and surfaces the strongest reasoned positions in plain language. The final midpoint is the median of the highest-conviction positions, with the rationale recorded end to end.

  • Every scorer weighting is visible to counsel — no black box
  • Final value is the median of the strongest-highest-conviction positions
  • Record is timestamped, sealed, and export-ready for audit or court
