Your IC memo cycles drain deal momentum
Your buy-and-build strategy demands rapid evaluation of distressed retail assets, but 5-7 day IC memo cycles slow your ability to act decisively. When undervalued consumer brands hit the market, your competitors move faster while your team manually synthesizes financial, operational, and commercial reports.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets generates IC-ready investment memos in hours from your complete data rooms. Your deal team uploads CIMs, financial models, and DD documents—and receives comprehensive analysis with sentence-level citations linking every insight to source materials, letting you move on attractive retail opportunities before the competition.

Your CIM volume overwhelms due diligence capacity
Your deal-intensive approach means your professionals review 50-200 CIMs annually while evaluating distressed consumer brands for portfolio transformation potential. Each retail acquisition requires deep analysis of omnichannel capabilities, store performance, and digital infrastructure—multiplying complexity across your pipeline.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets delivers 25x faster CIM analysis, letting your team process 15 consumer retail deals in the time it used to take for one. Your analysts focus on identifying operational value creation opportunities rather than manual document synthesis, maximizing your due diligence capacity without adding headcount.

Your late-stage DD findings derail timelines
Your portfolio operations focus means discovering critical findings late in diligence—hidden lease liabilities, inventory valuation issues, or e-commerce platform gaps—requires rapid memo restructuring close to IC deadlines. These last-minute pivots consume your team's bandwidth and introduce quality risks.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets surfaces key findings early by processing your entire data room simultaneously, flagging potential issues across financial, legal, and operational documents. Your team identifies transformation risks upfront, and granular citations let you quickly restructure memos when new information emerges without starting from scratch.

Your exit narratives lack integrated documentation
Your exit optimization strategy requires demonstrating portfolio company transformation with comprehensive, well-sourced materials. Building compelling exit narratives from years of operational data, financial improvements, and strategic initiatives currently requires painstaking manual compilation across disparate documents.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets synthesizes your portfolio company documentation into professional deliverables with complete citation trails. Your team builds exit presentations that trace every performance claim back to source materials, giving buyers confidence in your value creation story and accelerating your transaction timelines.
