History In the Late 1990s, Nathan Goldstein was the Managing director of a publicly traded Investment Bank met Benedict Silverman, who was the past Chairman of the Mortgage Corporation of America. While at MCA, Mr. Silverman’s primary clients where Kmart Corporation, Wal-Mart Stores and Krogers. In late 2000, Goldstein and Silverman were traveling to California from New York to see a potential investment opportunity that they were advised was a good investment opportunity. When they arrived, it turned out that the investment opportunity was not a good one. On the way back to New York, the two men recognized that there was a need for a system that helped inform buyers of business opportunities that included information regarding the investment. The two men also realized that the internet made such a system possible. Thus, Goldstein and Silverman capitalized on the opportunity and created Vested Business Brokers in 2001. And shortly after they created Vested’s Internet platform which matches ready, willing and able business buyers with business owners that want to sell their businesses. A few years later, Silverman retired, which left Goldstein as the CEO of Vested Business Brokers and its related companies and funds.
