That is in fact a million-dollar question. it's a huge pain point we've heard from nearly every of the 100+ brokers we've talked to.

Right now, it's a mix. we do basic "I'm a human" verification with e-mails and phoone numbers, and our team manually reviews inquiries to filter out the obvious noise before it hits a broker's inbox.

Longer term, we're exploring a concept we're calling a 'Venturu Passport.' It would be an optional one-time-thing-setup for a serious buyer to verify their funds, experience and readiness upfront, so a seller knows they're talking to someone credible.

It's just an idea for now, but we are very much obsessed with solving this. Would love to hear your thoughts on an approach like that.
