The transaction
layer for proxy
voting.
Vota Markets connects institutional shareholders with activist funds in contested elections — creating the first formal market for proxy vote assignments.
Get in touchProxy votes have real economic value. Activist funds spend millions per campaign trying to source votes in contested elections. Institutional shareholders hold idle voting rights they never use.
We build the infrastructure that connects them — formal proxy assignment agreements, attorney-escorted settlement, and transparent price discovery for a market that has historically operated entirely in the dark.
Price
Discovery
The first formal pricing mechanism for proxy voting rights. Every transaction generates data that doesn't exist anywhere else.
Matching
Infrastructure
We connect institutional sellers with activist buyers before record date deadlines — faster and more efficiently than traditional solicitation channels.
Settlement
Infrastructure
Standardized proxy assignment agreements, verified ownership confirmation, attorney escrow, and clean audit trails on every transaction.
Identify the fight
We monitor every contested election, merger vote, and withhold campaign — tracking vote math, holder registers, and record dates across the proxy calendar.
Source the inventory
We identify institutional shareholders with idle voting rights and no stated position on the contest — the natural sellers in any proxy fight.
Match and execute
We introduce buyer and seller, facilitate the proxy assignment agreement, coordinate settlement through attorney escrow, and document the transaction cleanly.
Close the deal
Seller receives payment. Buyer receives voting authority for the specific meeting and resolutions. Both parties get a clean audit trail. We take a brokerage fee.
Institutional
conversations welcome.
