We Know What Keeps You Up at Night

Your buy-and-build pipeline is bottlenecked by document overload
Your control buyout strategy requires evaluating dozens of software targets annually, each with extensive technical, financial, and operational documentation. With 50-200 CIMs hitting your team each year, your professionals spend more time reading than analyzing strategic fit.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets processes your entire data room in minutes, not days. Upload CIMs, technical DD reports, and financial models—receive structured analysis with sentence-level citations so your team can focus on identifying the best platform and add-on opportunities for your portfolio.

Your IC memo cycles are consuming critical deal time
Your investment committee process requires synthesizing financial, legal, commercial, and operational reports into cohesive narratives. Multiple review cycles consume 5-7 days, and late-discovered findings near IC deadlines force rapid restructuring that strains your deal teams.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets generates IC-ready investment memos in hours, automatically integrating insights across all document types. When new findings emerge, your team can restructure deliverables instantly—ensuring your operational value creation thesis is always current and compelling.

Your analysts are buried in manual synthesis work
Your upper mid-market software deals generate massive documentation volumes. Your analysts spend days manually cross-referencing technical due diligence against financial models, leaving less time for the strategic analysis that drives your portfolio company transformations.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets delivers 25x faster document processing, letting your team analyze 15 deals in the time one used to take. Free your analysts to focus on identifying operational improvement opportunities and exit optimization strategies that define your differentiated approach.

Your due diligence depth is limited by time constraints
Your intensive due diligence process is core to your investment thesis, but competitive deal timelines force difficult tradeoffs. Rushed analysis risks missing critical issues in complex software businesses—exactly the findings that matter most for your transformation playbook.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets ensures every insight links back to source documents with granular citations, giving your IC complete confidence in the analysis. Maintain your rigorous standards while moving faster than competitors—start processing your first data room in under 30 seconds.
