We Know What Keeps You Up at Night

Your due diligence intensity creates document overload
Your rigorous approach to software acquisitions means processing massive volumes of technical, financial, and operational documentation. With 50-200 CIMs crossing your desk annually, synthesizing insights across code audits, customer contracts, and financial models strains even your most experienced professionals.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets processes your entire data room in minutes, automatically synthesizing technical DD reports, financials, and commercial assessments into unified analysis. Every insight links directly to source documents with sentence-level citations, maintaining the rigor your investment process demands.

Your buy-and-build strategy multiplies deal complexity
Each platform acquisition requires evaluating dozens of potential add-ons across global markets. Your team spends days analyzing overlapping CIMs, comparing targets across different regulatory environments, and identifying synergy opportunities buried in disparate documents.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets enables your team to process 15 deals in the time previously spent on one. Multi-document synthesis automatically identifies operational synergies and integration considerations across your target universe, accelerating your add-on evaluation pipeline.

Your IC memo cycles consume critical deal time
Your thorough review process typically requires 5-7 days and multiple revision cycles before IC presentation. Late-discovered findings from legal or technical DD force rapid memo restructuring, creating unnecessary pressure as deal deadlines approach.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets generates comprehensive IC-ready memos in hours from 2000+ page data rooms. When new findings emerge, your team instantly regenerates updated analysis with complete source citations, eliminating last-minute scrambles before committee meetings.

Your portfolio transformation insights stay siloed
Your operational value creation expertise depends on rapidly identifying improvement opportunities within target companies. Critical insights about technology infrastructure, go-to-market efficiency, and operational gaps remain scattered across hundreds of DD documents, slowing your ability to build transformation roadmaps.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets automatically surfaces operational improvement opportunities by synthesizing information across financial, commercial, and technical reports. Your deal teams deliver sharper transformation theses to IC, backed by granular citations that validate each value creation lever.
