Why Ventuals?

We’re creating markets for anyone to get exposure to innovation.

Ventuals is building the market structure for the new innovation economy; where product velocity, user traction, and public perception move faster than traditional capital markets.

Just like commodities have futures and crypto has token perps, we believe the metrics of technology progress and adoption should have its own native derivatives.

Our first markets are perps for pre-IPO company valuations, built on Hyperliquid (HIP-3).

In the 1990s, startups went public within a few years, giving everyone a shot at the upside.

Today, they wait over a decade – which means most of the gains in companies like OpenAI, SpaceX, and Stripe have been locked away for insiders, funds, and backroom deals.

Everyday investors see state-sponsored lottery ticket billboards on their highways – but are locked out of investing in the next Facebook, Tesla, or Coinbase.

Meanwhile, the world is changing faster than ever. AI labs, rocket companies, and robotics startups dominate news headlines and permeate everyday conversations.

People see innovation happening and want real ways to get exposure. They don't want to get left behind. But today, there's no real way to act on that interest.

We're looking to change that.

Go long or short the valuation of private companies – without waiting for an IPO.

We’re bringing price discovery, transparency, and tradability to a part of the market that has historically been opaque and illiquid.

You can express a directional view based on industry news, product launches, funding events, or just pure intuition. No accreditation, backroom deals, or million-dollar checks needed.

Our mission is to align the public's interest in transformative technology with real, tradable markets.
