About Us
The platform that operates the NIBL framework.
Venture Comet exists to solve a structural problem in private companies: value is being created, but there is no disciplined mechanism for limited liquidity.
NIBL (Nominal Incentive-Based Liquidity) enables small, controlled releases of equity value - without undermining governance, control, or momentum. Venture Comet is the platform that makes NIBL practical.

Who We Are
Founded by exited founders and active angel investors
Venture Comet is founded by exited founders and active angel investors.
We’ve lived the mismatch between company value creation and personal financial reality - and we’ve watched liquidity constraints steadily reduce flexibility across the early-stage ecosystem.
NIBL is built on a simple principle: structured liquidity leads to stronger outcomes.
We developed the framework in consultation with founders, investors, and experienced UK governance specialists to make it credible, repeatable, and easy to adopt without introducing cap-table complexity.
The NIBL framework
We provide the structure and operational layer that makes NIBL repeatable, disciplined, and credible - so companies can implement structured liquidity without introducing complexity or risk.
Provide the platform
We help companies track performance, valuation ranges, and equity value over time, creating a shared, trusted view for founders and investors and reducing ambiguity when eligibility is reached.
Our Values
How we think about trust
NIBL touches sensitive territory: equity, control, governance, and incentives. That means the bar is higher.
Governance-led
All liquidity decisions are company-approved, rule-bound, and transparent. Eligibility, timing, and limits are defined in advance so founders, boards, and investors share the same expectations and no one is surprised.
Constraint-first
Caps, timing limits, and eligibility rules are built into the framework from the start. This prevents opportunistic behaviour and ensures liquidity supports the company’s trajectory rather than distorting incentives.
Operationally rigorous
We apply clean, consistent administration and investor-friendly cap-table management, including nominee structures where appropriate, so liquidity events do not create legal, operational, or reporting complexity.
Why us
What makes NIBL different
Discover how a governance-led approach to liquidity creates better outcomes for founders and investors than informal secondaries or waiting indefinitely for exit.

Investors face long, opaque holding periods
Liquidity decisions happen informally or reactively
Cap tables fragment through unmanaged transfers

High risk of misalignment and resentment
Legal and governance risk from informal share transfers
Liquidity access is opaque and often unevenly distributed
