tZERO Signs Agreements With Three Innovative Platforms to Boost Its Access to Private Companies

tZERO, a leader in blockchain innovation and liquidity for digital assets, announced that it has signed agreements with three cutting-edge platforms: OmniValley, Inc., an online community and platform housing and connecting startup ecosystem participants, Trellis Platform, Inc. (Trellis), a SaaS platform for alternative assets, and Wunderfund, Inc., an investment funding platform for private companies.

These partnerships will connect tZERO with high-quality private companies seeking to enhance their securities through tokenization, offering a path towards continuous secondary liquidity through tZERO’s regulated alternative trading system operated by its FINRA member broker-dealer subsidiary, tZERO ATS.

tZERO CEO Saum Noursalehi stated, “We are thrilled to partner with OmniValley, Trellis, and Wunderfund. These progressive platforms have rich networks of private companies and we are eager to introduce these companies to a blockchain-based platform for tokenization and secondary trading.”

OmniValley

OmniValley’s tools foster new and meaningful relationships among investors seeking to enter under-ventured and innovative markets.

OmniValley CEO and Founder Grady Buchanan shared, “At OmniValley, we’ve built a platform specifically and exclusively designed for investors that provides transparency and access into entrepreneurial ecosystems. tZERO shares our DNA. We look forward to working with tZERO and providing our network with an innovative solution that is interoperable with the market-leading secondary liquidity solution.”

Trellis Chief Revenue Officer George Nichols said, “Our partnership with tZERO is a natural extension of enabling alternative asset liquidity through secondary-market trading services. We are excited to collaborate with tZERO and connect our network with a best-in-class venue to access secondary liquidity through the tZERO ATS.”
