Tangible, founded in 2023, builds technology infrastructure for secondary market transactions in private equity. The company operates SaaS interfaces and auction platforms that connect LPs, GPs, and wealth managers seeking liquidity in private markets - a domain where transaction friction has historically been high and institutional-grade tooling has lagged behind public market equivalents.
The threat model here is less about perimeter defense and more about securing high-value financial transactions and sensitive deal data across multiple counterparties. Private equity secondaries involve bid data, fund NAVs, and institutional investor information that, if exposed or manipulated, carry direct financial consequences. The platform must enforce access controls, audit trails, and data integrity across auction workflows where timing and confidentiality are non-negotiable.
With a team of 40-plus, Tangible is building out capabilities spanning private equity, private credit, and real assets. The engineering challenge is architectural: building scalable auction mechanics and liquidity matching on top of SaaS interfaces that remain usable for non-technical financial professionals. For security and infrastructure roles, the work involves protecting transactional systems at scale while maintaining the reliability and trust that institutional counterparties demand from platforms handling illiquid, high-value assets.
