Private equity

Read the whole data room before the call.

Grids read hundreds of side letters and agreements at once, every cell opens onto the clause it came from, and the same workspace carries the deal from first screen to exit.

A curved marble staircase lit by low sun, falling into shadow at the top.

Why the firm cares.

What your professionals need to get done, and what the institution gains when they can.

Private equity

Identify investments, understand the downside, complete diligence and improve portfolio performance.

The firm gains

Better investment decisions, more diligence capacity and earlier identification of material risks.

Acquisition and portfolio intelligence.

Origination and monitoring draw on the same connected view of companies, owners and acquisitions, so what the firm learns in one place is used in the other.

Targets outside the pipeline

Companies matching the investment thesis, including those outside the CRM and the adviser network, with the evidence for each.

Ownership understood

Owners, directors, subsidiaries and related companies mapped before the first call.

Portfolio watched

Developments and covenant headroom followed across the holdings, with exceptions brought forward for review.

The whole investment lifecycle, in one workspace.

What the firm learns at one stage is there for the next, from the first screen to the exit.

Atlas and Anya
A Grid of eight side letters with commitment, MFN type, investor and governing law columns, and one cell open beside the clause it was read from.

What hides on page 84.

The terms that matter are rarely in the summary.

Side letters with terms of their own

Most favoured nation rights, carve-outs and limits sit in documents that nobody has time to read side by side.

Targets found through the same few people

Origination leans on the CRM and the adviser network, so companies outside both are rarely seen.

A new draft at midnight

When counsel sends version seven, nobody knows what already cited version six.

Open any cell onto its clause.

A cell reading limited MFN with exclusions opens beside the side letter text it came from, with buttons to accept or edit it.

Limits flagged as they are read.

Set the limit once and every commitment over it is marked as the grid fills.

The grid toolbar and the first three rows, with the third commitment marked in red where it exceeds the limit.

Set the run once.

Choose the files, the target grid and the instruction, see the estimated cost, and start the intake.

The run dialog for a side letter workflow, with three files, a target grid and an instruction to extract terms and flag commitments over the limit.

Recurring work, run to your standards.

A firm does not want another chatbot. It wants the work done the way it does it, on schedule, with a person signing off.

Stops on a missing source.
