Inveniam, Docugami partner to verify private asset data on-chain

Inveniam and Docugami have announced a partnership aimed at improving the verification and transparency of private-market data, combining document intelligence technology with blockchain-based data attestation.

The collaboration will see Docugami open its Document Graph Markup Language (DGML) technology while Inveniam anchors the extracted data on its NVNM Chain blockchain network.

The companies said the initiative is designed to address a growing challenge in private markets as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly involved in investment analysis, valuation, and decision-making.

Addressing data verification challenges in private markets

Private-market assets are typically supported by large volumes of unstructured documents, including leases, loan agreements, operating statements, and valuation reports.

While these documents contain critical information used by investors, auditors, and asset managers, verifying specific data points within them has traditionally been difficult.

Under the partnership, Docugami's DGML technology will convert complex business documents into structured and precisely labeled data elements.

Those extracted data points will then be anchored on Inveniam's NVNM Chain, creating tamper-evident and time-stamped records.

The companies said the approach goes beyond verifying the source of an entire document.

Instead, it allows individual data elements extracted from documents to be independently verified and recorded on-chain.

According to the firms, this capability could help create a more reliable foundation for tokenized assets, AI-driven financial analysis, audits, and investment decisions by enabling market participants to trace information back to its original source.

NVNM Chain designed for AI and data attestation

The initiative builds on Inveniam's recently launched NVNM Chain, a purpose-built Layer 2 blockchain network introduced on May 7.

The platform was designed to function as an attestation layer for agentic artificial intelligence systems.

It records and anchors verifiable data, including Proof of Origin, Proof of State, and Proof of Process attestations.

By anchoring DGML-generated data on NVNM Chain, the companies aim to create a verifiable record that AI agents, investors, institutions, and auditors can reference when evaluating private-market assets and transactions.

Patrick O'Meara, Chairman and CEO of Inveniam said:

“DGML is a foundational advance in how we read and structure the documents that drive private capital. Anchoring DGML-extracted data elements on-chain is the natural complement: it ensures the data elements, once surfaced, can be trusted by every stakeholder who needs to use it. We're proving out the combined approach in one of the markets where the trust gap is most acute.”

Expanding transparency for AI-driven finance

The companies believe the partnership represents a broader step toward establishing a transparent data layer for private markets as AI adoption continues to expand across the financial sector.

Jean Paoli, CEO of Docugami and XML co-creator and former President of Microsoft’s open source subsidiary, said:

“The world's most important business decisions are made on the basis of documents that machines have never been able to read properly. We have spent years building the technology to turn complex documents into data with unsurpassed precision. By opening DGML, we are inviting every participant in the private capital ecosystem to collaborate with us and build on a shared foundation.”

The companies plan to demonstrate the complete process from source document extraction to on-chain verification, highlighting potential applications across auditing, valuation, fundraising, reporting, and other private-market workflows.
