Accelerate your deal evaluation process

Challenges and Solutions
We Know What Keeps You Up at Night
Reducing IC memo latency
Your team loses valuable time during the 5-7 day review cycles required to synthesize financial, legal, and operational reports into a coherent IC memo.
How Brightwave Helps:
Brightwave allows you to upload data rooms and generate comprehensive, cited investment memos in hours, drastically shortening your review timeline.
Managing high-volume deal flow
Reviewing hundreds of CIMs annually creates a bottleneck, forcing your investment professionals to sacrifice depth for breadth during initial screenings.
How Brightwave Helps:
Process 15 deals in the time it takes to review one. Our AI analyzes CIMs 25x faster, giving your team instant, deep insights without the manual slog.
Mitigating late-stage diligence risks
Discovering critical operational findings late in the process often forces rapid, stressful memo restructuring right before Investment Committee deadlines.
How Brightwave Helps:
Instantly surface critical risks and operational data points from 2,000+ pages of documents, allowing you to structure your investment thesis correctly from day one.
Synthesizing complex operational data
Manually cross-referencing commercial, financial, and legal diligence reports to validate operational value creation strategies is prone to human error and fatigue.
How Brightwave Helps:
Receive granular, sentence-level citations linking every insight back to the source, ensuring your operational thesis is built on verifiable data.
