Run deal flow, diligence, investor records and portfolio reporting from one place.

Private equity firms track deals in spreadsheets, diligence documents in shared folders and portfolio figures in emailed packs. The product holds the pipeline, the diligence files, the committee approvals and the quarterly numbers on connected records. Investor commitments, calls and distributions sit beside them.

At a glance

A private equity firm works on two clocks at once. The deal team moves a target from first call to signed agreement, while the portfolio team follows companies the firm already owns. Both teams write to the same investors.

The records behind that work usually sit apart. Deals live in a tracker, diligence in folders and investor details in a contact list. Portfolio figures arrive as attachments that someone retypes into a model before any partner can compare them with the plan. Gaps appear.

How the work runs today

Deal teams log sourced targets, note each conversation with an owner or an adviser, and move the target through screening, management meetings and diligence while partners watch the pipeline. Associates build the document request list and chase the data room. Partners review a summary. They decide whether the target goes to the investment committee.

After closing, a portfolio team collects monthly or quarterly figures from each company, compares them with the plan and drafts the update that goes to every investor in the fund. Finance records capital calls and distributions for every investor, and an investor relations lead answers questions about each commitment. Reports follow.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for private equity firms without a proper system.

Deal history sits in several trackers

A target appears in a spreadsheet, an inbox and a partner’s notes. Nobody can say who last spoke to the owner or what was promised.

Diligence documents are scattered

Reports from advisers, data room exports and draft agreements live in separate folders. The version the committee saw is hard to confirm later.

Portfolio figures arrive in different formats

Each company reports on its own template. Someone retypes the numbers into a model before any comparison with the plan is possible.

Investor records are kept by hand

Commitments, capital calls, distributions and side letters sit in separate files. Answering one investor question means opening four of them.

Approvals leave no clear trail

A committee decision is recorded in minutes, an email or a message thread. Conditions are lost after closing.

What the software does

What we would build for private equity firms.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

Deal pipeline

Track each target by stage, owner and next step, with the notes and source of every conversation attached to the record, so a partner can pick up any deal cold.

Companies and contacts

Keep owners, advisers, lenders and co-investors as linked records, so every past touchpoint shows on one screen.

Diligence workspaces

Build a request list per deal, assign items to the team, and file each adviser report against the item it answers, so open gaps are plain to see before the committee meets.

Investment committee approvals

Send a deal summary to the committee. Record each vote. Keep the conditions of approval with the deal.

Portfolio monitoring

Collect periodic figures from each company on a set template and compare them with the plan, month by month, flagging any company whose numbers have not arrived by the due date.

Investor and fund records

Hold commitments, capital calls, distributions and side letters by investor, with the documents behind each one.

Reporting packs

Produce the quarterly update from recorded figures, with currency and valuation notes stated on the page.

Common questions

Questions private equity firms ask before they call.

Is this a fund accounting system?

No. It holds deals, diligence, investor records and portfolio figures. Fund accounting and valuation models stay in the tools your administrator uses, and figures can be exported to them.

Can we keep several funds and currencies?

Yes. Each fund has its own investors, commitments and portfolio companies. Currency settings are agreed per fund during implementation.

How is confidential deal material protected?

Access follows role and deal. A team member sees only the deals they work on. Every view and change of a document is logged.

Can we load our existing deal tracker?

Yes. The deal team’s spreadsheet trackers and contact lists are imported, and each deal lead reads the imported records against the originals before working in the system.

What happens in the free technology audit?

We look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough to start. You get a report ordered by priority, and there is no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. The audit settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
