We Know What Keeps You Up at Night

Shrink your IC memo cycle time
Preparing comprehensive IC memos typically consumes 5-7 days of intense manual review, often delaying crucial investment decisions. You face the constant pressure of synthesizing financial, legal, and operational reports without missing critical red flags.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave processes data rooms instantly, drafting detailed IC memos with sentence-level citations in hours. This allows your team to focus on investment judgment and operational strategy rather than manual document assembly.

Scale your buy-and-build pipeline
Reviewing 50-200 CIMs annually per professional creates a bottleneck that limits your ability to evaluate potential add-on targets effectively. Valuable opportunities are often missed simply due to bandwidth constraints during the screening phase.
How Brightwave Helps:

Analyze 15 deals in the time it usually takes to review one by using AI to extract key insights immediately. You can screen more targets and accelerate your buy-and-build strategy with 25x faster processing.

Eliminate late-stage diligence risks
Discovering critical findings late in the diligence process often forces last-minute memo restructuring close to IC deadlines. This reactive approach increases stress and risks overlooking commercial nuances essential for your operational value creation plans.
How Brightwave Helps:

Our platform identifies and cross-references insights across thousands of pages instantly, surfacing potential risks early in the process. You can address concerns proactively and maintain confidence in your investment thesis before the final review.

Synthesize complex operational data
Combining disparate reports from financial, legal, and commercial streams into a cohesive transformation plan is manually intensive. Operational value creation relies on the accurate synthesis of these complex data sets, leaving no room for human error.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave unifies insights from all diligence documents, linking every claim back to the source material for total verification. This ensures your operational transformation plans are built on verified, comprehensive data from day one.
