AI for M&A, Private Equity & Investment Banking

Due-diligence and data-room automation, deal-flow parsing into your CRM, and portfolio monitoring — built as secure AI systems for firms where the deal data cannot leak.

AI for dealmaking automates the document- and research-heavy work of M&A, private equity and investment banking: reading and summarising data rooms for due diligence, parsing inbound pitch decks into your CRM, and monitoring portfolio companies — all inside a secure deployment where confidential deal data stays contained.

The problem

Due diligence & data-room analysis

A live deal means a data room full of contracts, financials and disclosures, and a deadline. Junior teams read every document to surface risks, change-of-control clauses, liabilities and inconsistencies — slow, expensive, and easy to miss something at 2am.

We build diligence copilots that ingest the data room into a private knowledge base and let the deal team ask questions across it with citations: flagging risk clauses, reconciling financials, and assembling first-draft diligence summaries. It does not replace the banker’s judgement — it gets them to the judgement faster, on documents that never leave your environment.

  • Analysts re-keying metrics from decks and data rooms
  • Portfolio KPIs collected by hand each quarter
  • Affinity going stale without manual logging
  • Deal screening capped by analyst hours
  • No single view of relationships across the firm
  • Diligence data scattered across tools

The solution

Where automation removes the friction

Deck & data-room parsing

AI extracts metrics from pitch decks and data rooms straight into Affinity.

Hours saved per deal screened

Portfolio monitoring

Automated KPI collection and alerts across the whole portfolio.

Real-time portfolio visibility

Relationship intelligence

Affinity stays enriched and current without anyone logging activity manually.

Clean pipeline, zero data entry

Deal flow & pitch-deck parsing into your CRM

If analysts are manually entering founder data and funding histories into the CRM, the firm loses speed to execution. We engineer deal-flow automation that monitors your inbox, identifies incoming pitch decks, extracts the core financials and founder data, and writes them into Affinity (or your CRM) as structured fields — so nothing is re-keyed and nothing is missed.

Portfolio monitoring & investment research

Monitoring investments should not require manual web scraping. We track news, executive hires, competitor moves and filings for your portfolio companies and push updates into the CRM. The same research foundation supports market and equity research — ingesting filings and transcripts into a private knowledge base that answers with citations.

Built for the confidentiality the work demands

Everything runs inside an environment you control — your tenancy or a dedicated, isolated instance — with role-based access and an audit trail on every action. Deal and portfolio data never leaves your boundary and never trains a public model.

Our approach

From manual to automated

  1. 01Map the deal workflow

    Diligence, deal flow, or portfolio monitoring — we document the documents, data, CRM structure, and the security model the work requires.

  2. 02Ingest & build securely

    Data room or deal data is loaded into a private knowledge base in your environment; copilots and extraction are built on top.

  3. 03Add monitoring & write-back

    AI detects decks and filings, extracts data, writes to your CRM, and tracks portfolio signals — with human review on what matters.

  4. 04Deploy & refine

    Go live with alerts, analytics and audit trails, refining extraction and summaries to your fields and standards.

Why a custom build beats off-the-shelf

  • Confidential deal and portfolio data stays in your environment and never trains a public model.
  • Diligence copilots answer from the actual data room, with citations — not a generic model.
  • Deal-flow extraction tuned to the metrics your firm tracks, written into Affinity or your CRM.
  • Every action is logged for an audit trail.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI actually help with M&A due diligence?

Yes — diligence is document-heavy review, which is exactly where a private copilot helps. We ingest the data room into a secure knowledge base so the deal team can ask questions across it with citations, flag risk clauses, and draft summaries faster, without any document leaving your environment.

How is confidential deal data protected?

Everything runs inside your environment — your tenancy or a dedicated, isolated instance — with role-based access and full audit trails. Deal data never leaves your boundary or trains a public model. We work under NDA.

Does the deal-flow automation only work with Affinity?

Affinity is our most common deployment, but the same patterns apply to other deal CRMs. Inbound decks are detected, key metrics and founder details extracted, and the structured data written into the right fields.

Can you monitor our existing portfolio?

Yes — we track news, executive hires, competitor moves and filings for your portfolio companies and push updates into the CRM so nothing is missed.

How long does it take to deploy?

A focused deal-flow or monitoring build goes live in 4–6 weeks; a full diligence copilot depends on data-room volume and security requirements.

What does it cost?
