I’ve been working on a **private, invite-only B2B auction platform** designed for businesses that want to run **closed auctions** without public listings or broker-style marketplaces.
The goal is to support orgs that already have buyers and want more control over pricing, access, and settlement.
**Use cases I had in mind**
* Hospitals, distributors, manufacturers, asset-heavy orgs
* Selling surplus, equipment, or inventory to a known buyer list
* Invite-only bidding (no public marketplace exposure)
**Core capabilities**
* Organization-based access (teams + roles)
* Private auctions with invited bidders only
* Real-time bidding and bid history
* Payments and settlement
* Analytics / activity tracking
* Audit-friendly event history
* White-label friendly
I’m mainly curious how others here are handling **private auctions or closed sales workflows** today and what tradeoffs you’ve run into.
If this overlaps with your work, I’m happy to discuss or share more context.
