Optimal Markets

Company – About Optimal Markets, Inc.

Optimal Markets, founded in 2003, provides real-time electronic auctions and portal technology to insure fair transactions for high value assets.

The market leader for electronic auctions in several industries, Optimal Markets provides solutions that are particularly relevant to opaque markets. Using game theory based rules, our auctions obtain fair pricing, prevent manipulation, and foster good relations between the auctioneer and bidders. Our portal technology provides efficiency in linking buyers and sellers, and in accelerating due diligence for complex transactions.

A Better Approach to Auctioning

Over the past few years, large government agencies, utilities and sophisticated corporations sought to capture the benefits offered by auctions while overcoming some of the typical shortcomings. Enter the science of game theory and the nation's top economists. Many experts worked to improve on tried and true techniques for market discovery — and succeeded. While old-fashioned auctions still provide real value, our more advanced designs have proven they can deliver much better results. Optimal Markets auctions involve bidding on quantity instead of price, and provide specific feedback to bidders while keeping them anonymous to each other. Rules to prevent gaming insure a fair process for all involved.

Since its inception, Optimal Markets has worked with some of the world's greatest game theorists to create an auction platform that is highly cost effective for mainstream auction needs. The result is a platform that is readily deployable, uses our proprietary Auctions 2.0 AJAX technology for live updates, and is easy to use & understand.
