47 days. Then someone else signed.

Both sides shook hands. Both wanted in. Then came the redlines, the counter-proposals, the compliance review. By day 47, the room had cooled. The other side moved on. Intent doesn’t kill deals. The structuring does.

0247 minutes

Same deal. 47 minutes.

Same parties, same intent — different process. Everyone meets in one chat — peers, advisors, AI agents. The agreement forms as you talk. When both sides agree, they sign the same executable object. The chain moves the money in the same conversation. The room never cools.

How it works

It’s a deal room. A specific kind.

One room. Evolving negotiations. Instant execution.

01

One room.

Open a thread. Counterparties, advisors, AI agents — all in one place, on the same context.

02

Evolving negotiations.

Terms shift as you talk. Counter-proposals stack. AI captures each version — until alignment lands and both sides sign the same object.

03

Instant execution.

Both sign. The chain settles atomically. Confidential, audited, done — in the same chat.
