We Know What Keeps You Up at Night

Your IC memo cycles are consuming critical deal time
Your team spends 5-7 days on multiple review cycles for each IC memo, synthesizing financial, legal, commercial, and operational reports across complex control buyout transactions. Late-discovered DD findings force rapid restructuring right before committee deadlines, creating unnecessary pressure.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets processes your entire data room and generates comprehensive IC memos with sentence-level citations in hours. Every insight links directly to source documents, so your committee sees exactly where conclusions originate—eliminating last-minute scrambles.

Your deal flow outpaces your evaluation capacity
With 50-200 CIMs crossing your desk annually, your professionals struggle to give each opportunity the thorough analysis your operational value creation strategy demands. Promising platform acquisitions and add-on targets compete for limited bandwidth.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets delivers 25x faster CIM analysis, enabling your team to process 15 deals in the time it used to take for one. Scale your diversified deal evaluation without sacrificing the due diligence intensity that drives your portfolio transformations.

Your analysts are buried in document processing
Your upper mid-market control transactions generate massive data rooms requiring extensive synthesis. Senior talent spends hours on document review instead of the strategic analysis that powers your portfolio company transformations and exit optimization.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets automates your document processing at $200/month versus $833+ for enterprise alternatives. Redirect your team's expertise toward the operational improvements and buy-and-build strategies that differentiate your firm.

Your analysis quality suffers under deal pressure
Competing against Valor, Avante, and Clearlake means your team faces intense pressure to move quickly without missing critical findings. Manual synthesis across hundreds of documents introduces risk that late-stage discoveries will derail your investment thesis.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets ensures comprehensive analysis with granular citations linking every insight to original sources. Your due diligence maintains the rigor your control buyout strategy requires while keeping pace with competitive timelines.
