Accelerate your deal execution speed
Transform complex data rooms into IC-ready investment memos in hours instead of days.


Challenges and Solutions
We Know What Keeps You Up at Night
Streamlining your IC memo preparation
Your investment team likely loses 5-7 days across multiple review cycles just to synthesize financial, legal, and commercial reports into a cohesive narrative.
How Brightwave Helps:
Brightwave enables your team to generate comprehensive, cited IC memos from raw data rooms in hours, eliminating the bottleneck of manual drafting.
Mitigating late-stage diligence risks
Finding critical red flags in operational or legal documents too close to your IC deadline forces stressful, rapid restructuring of your investment thesis.
How Brightwave Helps:
Your deal team can instantly surface and link every insight to its original source document, ensuring critical risks are identified immediately upon upload.
Optimizing your analyst bandwidth
Manually synthesizing disparate data from thousands of pages of software technical diligence and commercial reports is an inefficient use of your associates' time.
How Brightwave Helps:
Brightwave automates the synthesis of complex reports, allowing your team to focus on high-level deal judgment rather than low-level data extraction.
Scaling your software deal coverage
Competing for competitive growth minority deals requires processing high volumes of CIMs, yet manual analysis limits the number of opportunities you can screen deeply.
How Brightwave Helps:
Enable your analysts to process 15 deals in the time it typically takes to review one, significantly expanding your market coverage without increasing headcount.
