Challenges and Solutions

We Know What Keeps You Up at Night

Your DD intensity is a strength—until it becomes a bottleneck
Your due diligence-intensive approach drives superior investment outcomes, but synthesizing 50-200 CIMs annually per professional creates massive document overload. When your team is combining financial, legal, commercial, and operational reports across multiple platform acquisitions, critical insights get buried.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets processes your entire data room in minutes, automatically synthesizing insights across all document types. Every finding links back to source materials with sentence-level citations, so your team maintains the rigorous DD standards that define your approach—at 25x the speed.

Your platform strategy demands faster add-on evaluation
Your buy-and-build thesis requires evaluating numerous add-on targets simultaneously while managing active portfolio transformations. Traditional CIM analysis timelines mean your deal team can't keep pace with your acquisition pipeline, risking missed opportunities in competitive processes.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets lets your team process 15 deals in the time it previously took for one. Instantly compare add-on candidates against your platform criteria, surface operational synergies, and generate preliminary analysis that accelerates your path to LOI.

Your IC prep cycles consume days you don't have
Your control buyout deals require comprehensive IC memos integrating operational value creation plans, transformation roadmaps, and exit scenarios. Multiple review cycles consuming 5-7 days leave little buffer when late-discovered findings require rapid restructuring close to deadlines.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets generates IC-ready investment memos in hours, complete with your operational thesis and transformation assumptions. When new DD findings emerge, restructure your memo instantly—eliminating the last-minute scramble that threatens your deal timelines.

Your operational expertise needs better data extraction
Your value creation approach depends on identifying transformation opportunities buried in management presentations, quality of earnings reports, and operational assessments. Manual extraction means your portfolio operations team receives incomplete or delayed intelligence for planning.
How Brightwave Helps:

Brightwave Private Markets extracts and organizes operational insights across your entire document set, flagging transformation opportunities and exit optimization levers. Your team receives granular, cited analysis that powers your value creation playbook from day one of ownership.
