V2 Markets

V2 Markets does not make investment decisions — it is a technology platform, not an allocator. The co-founders, Tyler Carper and Andrew Deters, run the company. The platform surfaces matches algorithmically; the actual investment decision to buy or sell a fund interest remains with the institutional counterparties that use the system.

V2 Markets is structured as a technology provider, not as a broker-dealer or registered investment advisor. It does not take custody of assets, execute trades, or earn a carry. This regulatory posture differentiates it from full-service secondary advisory firms that intermediate transactions and charge placement fees.

V2 Markets does not source deals in the traditional sense. Institutional sellers input fund interest data directly into the platform, and the matching engine algorithmically identifies potential buyers. The platform's value proposition is that it aggregates supply and demand digitally, reducing the need for intermediaries to shop positions by phone.

The platform covers private equity, venture capital, real asset, and private credit fund interests. Version 2, released in September 2023, expanded coverage to additional sub-asset classes. The matching engine is designed to handle LP stakes, not direct company equity.

V2 Markets is focused entirely on the secondary market for existing fund interests. It does not facilitate primary fund commitments. The platform matches sellers of LP stakes with potential buyers, operating as a technology layer on top of the secondaries market rather than a fund-of-funds or primary placement agent.

Most secondary-market venues are either full-service broker-dealers that manually negotiate trades or passive bulletin boards with no matching intelligence. V2 Markets provides algorithmic matching without intermediating the actual transfer — it is a software company, not a financial intermediary — which means it does not compete with its users for allocation or information, a structural distinction from most secondary advisors.

V2 Markets has not publicly announced any institutional funding rounds. It appears to be self-funded or backed by undisclosed angel or founder capital. This independence may contribute to its posture as a neutral technology provider rather than a platform with its own capital deployment agenda.
