From the first buyer email
to the final price.

You forward buyer emails to your private Garde address, from any email account; connecting Gmail or Outlook directly is in pilot while Google and Microsoft review Vendu. Garde sorts them by firm, checks who each sender is, and shows you which firms keep writing and what they want. Nothing is sent unless you approve it.

You add your financials in any format. Garde extracts every figure with its period, flags possible add-backs, and builds the model buyers price on. You confirm every figure.

In the background, each fund's Ryo checks your company against that fund's mandate and limits. Funds that fit see an anonymous profile with a one-line reason. Nobody sees your name.

When you're ready, you choose what to release: your confirmed figures and a description. Nothing that identifies you goes out.

Each fund's Ryo prices what you released with that fund's own model and assumptions, and sends an indicative bid. You see every bid with an explanation, and no fund learns who you are.

You invite the funds whose bids and fit you like best. On Agora, they accept confidentiality terms before seeing your name or data room. Sensitive files are tiered, and every download is logged.

Each invited fund's team reviews its Ryo's model, has Ryo read the data room and propose changes with evidence, and approves what it agrees with. The price is recomputed in code, and the team bids for real.

Indications, then final bids with full terms. Garde scores each offer on what matters to you: price, certainty, rollover and your team. You shortlist and meet management.

Runner-up offers stay live through diligence. Verified figures re-price every quote, and a cut without a documented finding lets you switch buyers before you close.

Structured counter-rounds between Garde and each fund's Ryo, within limits both sides set, with people approving anything binding.
