Transactions: FAQ
What happens after a match locks — step by step.
The 2-hour hold
The moment a match locks, a two-hour software hold secures the shares and both sides' fee invoices are issued. Pre-funded buyers are debited instantly from their wallet balance.
Escrow opens
Escrow opens only once both sides' fees have cleared. Your funds sit in a dedicated escrow wallet at our partner bank — the platform never takes custody.
The 72-hour wire window
After escrow opens, the buyer has 72 hours to wire the deal principal. If the wire doesn't arrive, the deal is busted: the buyer's fee is forfeited and the seller receives a technology credit toward their next match.
Issuer requirements
Most private companies hold a right of first refusal (ROFR), typically a 30-day window, before a transfer completes. Average time in escrow is about 45 days.
When identities are revealed
Buyer and seller communicate anonymously through the platform's messaging portal. Identities are revealed only after a deal is executed.
