# About

## OUR MISSION

Build Trust
 For Predictive Claims

validityBase (vBase) builds infrastructure that enables creators and users of predictive data, models, signals, and trading strategies to validate predictive value through independently verifiable evidence.

## THE PROBLEM

## Predictive Claims are Hard to Verify

- Research and investment workflows increasingly rely on externally produced predictive data and models.
- Providers often lack a scalable way to build a credible historical record of what was predicted, when.
- Buyers default to unscalable means of validating predictive claims, and often do not buy at all, creating a major bottleneck to adoption.

## HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT

## Scale Trust, Without Giving Up Control

- Predictive claims become independently verifiable
- IP stays private (vBase does not need to see it)
- Fits existing pipelines and data types
- Verification records are portable beyond vBase
- Start in minutes, scale to millions

validityBase is a **neutral verification layer** – not a judge, broker, or promoter

## Team & Stewardship

vBase is built by practitioners from systematic investing, data infrastructure, and market technology.

## Dan Averbukh

Co-Founder & CEO

Dan previously founded Clerkenwell Asset Management, a systematic hedge fund, where he worked directly with external datasets, signals, and strategy evaluation. That experience informs how vBase is built today: practical infrastructure for teams to make credible predictive claims.

## Greg Kapoustin

Co-Founder & CTO

Greg has spent over 20 years building data and analytics infrastructure for predictive modeling and quantitative investment research. He previously co-founded ABW, whose analytics solutions supported more than $30 billion in AUM. At validityBase, he builds the systems that make validation and historical reproducibility scalable.
