Accelerate your deep dive diligence
Turn complex data rooms into rigorous IC memos in hours instead of days.


Challenges and Solutions
We Know What Keeps You Up at Night
Compressing Your IC Memo Cycles
Drafting comprehensive memos typically consumes 5-7 days of valuable team time, involving multiple review cycles to synthesize financial and operational data. This manual latency slows down your ability to react to competitive deal dynamics.
How Brightwave Helps:
Transform 2000+ pages of due diligence into professional deliverables instantly, allowing your team to skip the drafting phase and focus on strategic thesis refinement.
Screening Buy-and-Build Targets
With professionals reviewing 50-200 CIMs annually, identifying the right add-on acquisitions becomes a volume constraint rather than a strategic choice. You risk missing opportunities simply because bandwidth is consumed by initial document triage.
How Brightwave Helps:
Process 15 deals in the time it usually takes to analyze one, enabling your firm to evaluate a wider funnel of potential targets with 25x faster analysis.
Eliminating Late-Stage Deal Risk
Discovering critical findings late in the diligence process often requires last-minute memo restructuring just before Investment Committee meetings. These eleventh-hour scrambles jeopardize deal execution and strain your analytical resources.
How Brightwave Helps:
Instantly synthesize legal, commercial, and financial reports to surface risks immediately, ensuring your IC materials are comprehensive and accurate well before the deadline.
Validating Operational Value Drivers
Connecting high-level investment theses to granular data points across thousands of pages is essential for justifying value creation plans. Manual verification is prone to error and difficult to audit during intense review sessions.
How Brightwave Helps:
Leverage sentence-level citations that link every generated insight back to the original source material, giving your committee absolute confidence in the underlying data.
