Scale your operational diligence capacity
Process data rooms 25x faster and generate IC memos in hours.


Challenges and Solutions
We Know What Keeps You Up at Night
Synthesizing complex operational data
Your team faces the daunting task of manually extracting operational risks and value creation levers from thousands of pages of diverse diligence materials.
How Brightwave Helps:
Brightwave processes 2,000+ pages instantly, creating granular analyses that link every operational insight directly to the source document for rapid validation.
Reducing IC memo turnaround time
Multiple review cycles and late-stage findings often force your investment team to restructure memos and risk assessments just days before the Investment Committee meets.
How Brightwave Helps:
Generate IC-ready memos in hours, not days. Allow your professionals to focus on thesis refinement and exit optimization rather than manual formatting.
Evaluating high deal volumes efficiently
With hundreds of CIMs hitting your desks annually, prioritizing the right financial services targets requires analyzing massive volume without sacrificing depth.
How Brightwave Helps:
Analyze 15 deals in the time it usually takes to review one. Scale your pipeline review capacity 25x to capture more buy-and-build opportunities.
Ensuring diligence accuracy and citations
Manually cross-referencing financial models with legal and commercial reports creates a risk of human error and missed red flags during complex deal evaluations.
How Brightwave Helps:
Eliminate synthesis errors with sentence-level citations. Your team gets instant verification for every claim, ensuring data integrity across complex deal structures.
