Our story
Built from frustration.
Grown through trust.
MarketDeals was not born from a pitch deck. It was born from three months of wasted time, dead-end listings, and conversations that never led anywhere. Diego Cosmo built the system he needed — and found out everyone else needed it too.
How we got here
A company built one deal at a time.
Diego Cosmo was trying to source a specialty vehicle for his business. Three months. Six platforms. Hundreds of messages to sellers who either didn't exist, weren't serious, or were asking 40% over market. He knew he wasn't alone — his friends in auto resale, equipment procurement, and property acquisition all described the same experience: too much noise, too many dead ends, and time destroyed with conversations that went nowhere.
It wasn't just a sourcing problem. It was a trust problem. Platforms let anyone list anything. No one qualified the seller. No one confirmed the price was real. No one checked if the buyer was serious. Everyone was wasting everyone's time — and no one was fixing it. Diego called Rafael, Claire, and Marcus. Four operators who had each lived this problem from different angles.
The four co-founders started manually sourcing and qualifying deals for a tight circle of trusted buyers and dealers. Within 90 days, they had closed 60+ deals. Dealers were getting real buyers. Buyers were finding real deals close to them. The system worked — it just needed to scale.
With seed backing from Cosmo Angels, the team spent 3 months building the platform: the grading model, the qualification workflow, the buyer app. Every design decision came from real experience on both sides of the table.
Before the full launch, we opened specialist desks for marine, real estate, heavy equipment, luxury goods, and resale. Each vertical got its own analyst team and scoring model. Every deal passed through the same qualification standard regardless of category.
MarketDeals launched publicly in 2026. Thousands of qualified deals processed in the first months. Dealers doubling their close rate. Buyers finding opportunities that were invisible before. Every deal reviewed by a human. That will not change.
The people who built it
Four operators. One obsession.
Each co-founder had lived the problem from a different seat. Buyer. Builder. Operator. Market maker. Together they designed a system that works for all of them.
What we stand for
Simple principles. Hard to fake.
We will never trade deal quality for deal volume. Every listing you see has passed a human review.
Our team are former dealers, fleet buyers, and acquisition managers. We know both sides of the table.
A deal 300km away is not a deal for most people. Distance is always the first filter.
In specialist markets, timing is margin. We move fast without cutting corners.
